About us
From Sialkot, Pakistan to Dublin, Ireland
Over ten years of making sportswear in one of the world's great sports manufacturing cities, and a home in Ireland.
Illustrative photoOur story
Sialkot, in the north-east of Pakistan, has been making sporting goods for well over a century. Footballs, gloves, kits and apparel made there are used by clubs and brands all over the world, though most people never know where they came from.
That's where we're from. Our factories are in Sialkot, Pakistan, run by people who have been cutting and stitching sportswear for years. But buying from overseas can be hard: time zones, language, payment worries and the risk that the bulk order doesn't match the sample.
So we set up dbstore in Dublin, Ireland. We handle the conversation, the quote, the invoice and the delivery here in Ireland, while production happens in our own factories. You get factory prices with someone local who is accountable for the result.
A note from the founder
"I grew up around Sialkot's workshops, and I've seen how good the work there is, and how hard it can be for clubs and brands abroad to get it. dbstore is my way of fixing that: our own factory, honest prices, and me on the end of the phone in Dublin to make sure every order is right. If something isn't, it's on me."

What we stand for
How we work
Straight answers
Clear prices, realistic dates, and a heads-up if anything changes. No overpromising.
Sample first
You see and feel the product before committing to bulk. Always.
Fair production
We know our workers by name. Fair wages and safe conditions are non-negotiable.
Long-term partners
Most of our work should be re-orders. We earn them by getting the first order right.
Responsible manufacturing
Making less waste, not more
Everything we make is made to order, so nothing ends up as unsold stock. We cut patterns to make the most of every roll of fabric, offer recycled polyester and organic cotton, and keep your patterns on file so re-orders don't need new samples.
We're working towards independent social and environmental audits. If your brand needs a specific certification, tell us and we'll tell you honestly where we stand.
