Founded by Tom Walsh, Circus has been growing steadily for over five years. But our story started long before that, when Tom began his career in fashion as a buyer at London’s iconic Selfridges. With a love for print, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a passion for timeless pieces, Tom went on to sell vintage clothing in markets across Camden, Portobello, and Covent Garden.

Eventually, he brought that vision back to Ireland, opening a series of independent shops in Dublin. Driven by a desire to offer something original and ethically made, Tom began designing his own pieces—and so, Circus Clothing was born. Inspired by classic silhouettes of the 1940s and beyond, our designs are made for today. Every piece is thoughtfully produced using quality, sustainable materials, with attention to detail and care for the people who make them.

For us, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s the foundation of how we create. Over 90% of our garments are crafted from certified natural and sustainable fabrics. We partner with a single, trusted factory that shares our values, ensuring transparency, fair working conditions, and responsible production.

Circus is defined by a romantic, feminine style that draws inspiration from decades past. We blend heritage silhouettes with contemporary cuts to create garments that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

We believe in doing business with integrity—face-to-face, eye-to-eye. While certifications matter, trust is built through action. At Circus, we prioritise honesty, long-term partnerships, and shared values—whether it’s with our makers, our retailers, or our customers.
