Hi Louise, congratulations on your new brand! I’m really trying to support more local small businesses but I also want to make sure they are ethical & sustainable products. Can you share any information on this please? For example materials used & their environmental impact, recyclability, plastic packaging, place of manufacture etc, thank you 😊 x
Hi Niamh thanks for the interest. My manufacturing is sourced from ethical sedex certified manufacturers, this is the global supply chain standard. They do audit reports each year to ensure everything is up to the certified standard. The packaging we use is 100% recyclable and the products are created using materials that are best for activewear (sweat-wicking, quick drying materials). I created the pieces in the hopes they are pieces people will have in their wardrobe for a long time and rewear again and again. Hope this helps answer your questions x
A bit confused by the vision? Just some long sleeved tops and leggings is hardly going to cut the activewear market, especially for the price. Alo Yoga already makes tops just like that in long + short sleeve. Maybe explain a bit more your overall vision? Will it be one of many collections, with jumpers, sweats and everything too?
Hi there, sorry maybe I should have explained more the "why" of CLOO: Cloo is a high quality activewear fashion brand developed for busy women of different body shapes and sizes. It is designed in Ireland and every piece is created with the modern-day multitasking woman in mind. We aim to instil confidence and provide comfort and practicality in what you’re wearing from morning to night. Fit and functionality are of utmost importance when creating all Cloo pieces. Of course I hope it will be one of many collections - I'll be taking feedback from everyone for the next drop! Thanks
@@louisecooney_ thanks for replying! I’m a supporter of your channel (btw!) - but I think probably would have been better to explain the vision a bit more as it seemed totally random coming out with a brand with such a small selection of quite unusual pieces! Xx
Congratulations Louise, are you selling in USA? You know after the holidays we all want to get back into the exercise...it looks like you really put a lot of thought into each piece. 👏🇺🇸💛
It's incredibly disappointing for someone who would have loved to support your new business venture to be completely excluded with your non-inclusive sizing. The token answer of "hoping to expand sizing" means very little to someone who is continuously excluded with regards to clothing and I had genuinely hoped your brand would be different. Equating a XXL to a 16-18 is so disingenuous - why would anyone over a size 16-18 want to buy into your brand when at best they are an afterthought and in reality you have made overwhelmingly clear you have no interest in representing? I can honestly say you have lost any future business or support from me in the future, regardless of an extended size range that you "hope to bring out in the future".
I'm really sorry Emilie - this is all new for me, I'm learning as I go - it definitely wasn't intentional. Next time I order I'll ensure there is a bigger difference between each size (XS-XXL), this will allow us to hopefully go up to a size UK 24 x
"probably" .. you haven't tried :) Also, of course a big company like MyProtein can sell their clothing cheaper. You order more you get them for a better price, thats how mass production works. Thanks for the feedback!
Love how the collection looks 😍
Congratulations on your collection. Love your vlogs❤

So excited for you! Such a lovely collection - you did an amazing job!
Thank you so so much!

So expensive 😮
Sorry to hear you think so, where do you normally buy activewear so I can price compare and hopefully get it more right moving forward?
Just made my first purchase I wanted to show my support and let you know how much I've enjoyed all your vlogs best of luck xx
Thank you so much!
I can’t believe how overpriced the clothes are. My protein is far more reasonable and probably alot better quality tbh
"probably" .. you haven't tried :)

Thanks for the feedback!
Best wishes Louise
