Fáilte
Whether you're a fluent Gaelgeoir or just have cúpla focal (a couple of words) as Gaeilge, I want to help you celebrate our language and express yourself through Irish. Every sweatshirt and bag I create is unique. You select the words and thread colour, and I hand-write and hand-embroider it for you.
Your cúpla focal - your way

Is mise Deirdre
I live in Drumcondra, Dublin, Ireland with my husband, our young daughter, and our cat. I started Hoopla Focal to celebrate our Irish language and the cúpla focal that most of us have. It was also a way of getting back in touch with my creative side after having my daughter. I hand stitch every item in my home. I love seeing which colours and words my lovely customers choose. My favourite orders are bespoke orders. They're so personal, and often come with such lovely and interesting stories! Feel free to get in touch if you want to talk through creating your own unique sweatshirt or bag.
Sustainability
Making responsible choices is part of my ethos.
All the packaging I use is made from recycled materials and is biodegradable.
The materials in my sweatshirts and bags are also made from recycled materials. The cotton is reclaimed from fashion industry offcuts, and the polyester is created from recycled plastic bottles.
All my sweatshirts and bags are certified via the Fair Wear Foundation, Organic Content Standard (OCS), and Global Recycled Standard (GRS), ensuring all materials used are ethically sourced and workers are paid a fair wage and work in a safe environment.
The thread I use is 100% cotton and biodegradable.
