Our Story
I've spent over 18 years in an office job where I've spent 8 - 12 hours a day sitting at a desk. Outside of work during a large part of my 20's (I'm now 38) I turned to drugs as a means of escape. I know first hand the impact this can have on the body, the mind and health. Developing strength of character is something that I have had to do to overcome that period in my life and start the journey to who I am today. I want to build a clothing brand that promotes a healthy lifestyle, builds strength of character and leads by example. It's easy to preach about being active and being healthy, but it's another thing to show that you're really out there, at times suffering, to be better that you were yesterday. It's this journey of running, hiking and business that our social media content documents.
The outstanding beauty of the Mourne Mountains and The Mourne Way is a great source of inspiration for me. They also make me very aware of our environmental responsibilities. Each month, through Shopify and Offset, I invest in sustainability initiatives to counteract the environmental impact of shipping and delivery of orders. We’re also aiming to grow the number of products we have which are made from sustainable fabrics.
If you'd like to support and follow my journey you can find Mourne Way Apparel on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn @mournewayapparel and on Twitter @mournewayruns.
