Who We Are

Taippe (pronounced “Type”) is a slow fashion brand dedicated to crafting timeless, high-quality pieces made from natural and cellulose fibres, as well as carefully selected deadstock fabrics sourced from surplus materials left unused by other companies. By giving these fabrics new life and purpose, we promote circularity and reinforce our commitment to more responsible practices.

Our Ethos

With a strong focus on durability and versatility, we create exclusive, themed capsules designed to build a wardrobe made to last. While capsules remain central to our identity, we are working towards introducing a permanent collection in 2026.
Founded by Matilde in January 2024, we launched our first capsule, Blood TAIPPE, in September of the same year, designed by Molly.

Our Co-Founders

Co-Founder & Fashion Designer

Taippe is proudly Irish-designed and crafted by Portuguese hands, a reflection of the cultural backgrounds and impact brought by both Matilde and Molly to the brand.

Our Fabrics

Whenever possible, we work with natural and cellulose fibres. To avoid producing fabric unnecessarily, we prioritise repurposing existing stock from Portuguese factories. This reduces waste, extends the life of materials already made, and allows us to design responsibly without compromising quality.

We oversee a vertical process from fibre to finished garment, ensuring transparency, traceability and craftsmanship at every step. Our fabrics are the foundation of each collection, chosen with intention and tested for longevity.

Crafted in Portugal, With Purpose

We produce everything in Portugal, not because it’s easy, but because it matters. Local production lets us work closely with skilled makers, ensure fair conditions, support family-run factories, and maintain Taippe’s quality.

We don’t mass-produce nor chase trends. We create in small batches, use responsible materials, repurpose existing fabrics, and pay the true cost of craftsmanship. Each piece reflects the real value of the people, time, and expertise behind it.
