Celebrating over 20 years in business
GOOSE ISLAND CELEBRATE OVER 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS
GooseIsland derives its name from its location in the picturesque Swansea Marina where the company was set up. Karen Hutchings used her own creative talents to transform the rich traditional design heritage of the Far East into fashionable clothing, jewellery and accessories. From modest beginnings, selling through parties and craft fairs, Goose Island has grown into a well-established retail and wholesale company exporting all over the world.
GooseIsland has been trading since 1993 and currently has successful retail
outlets in Cowbridge and Mumbles together with a warehouse
and offices in Swansea and a retail and trade website. Goose Island supplies
retail outlets throughout the UK and Europe on a wholesale basis. The
clothing is manufactured in Indonesia, India and the EU and imported into the
UK on a regular basis and Goose Island has now become a recognised brand throughout
the UK and Europe.
In
2013 Goose Island won the prestigious award for
Best
Welsh Fashion Business at the Vale Hotel in Cardiff.
Here's to the next 20 years! x

Yesterday a film crew arrived at our Head Office to film Helen and here are some photos of her being interviewed.
Helen has been working for Goose Island for a year and has put her Textile Degree to good use by assisting our design and buying team both in Swansea and Italy. She also assists with photo shoots and on top of that she travels 80 miles a day from her home in Blackwood, Gwent to work in Swansea.
