Woman turned away from fast fashion to set up sustainable clothes business in Dublin

An online sustainable fashion business based in Dublin is spreading the message that people need to be more mindful about where they get their clothes from.

Agite Closet is founded by Monica Martienz from Barcelona, who after working in Spanish retail store Stradivarius for 16 years since she was 16 years old moved to Ireland in 2021 for more career opportunities. She said the Covid-19 pandemic gave her time to reflect on her busy life.

She told Dublin Live: "During the pandemic when life was slowed down I realised I could live with less. I enjoyed the simple things and no longer wanted a hectic life where I was always wanting more. As my job was very busy, it was time for a change."
