Introducing Dual-Branded Bags for a Cause

Larchfield Estate and Madlug are proud to introduce our dual-branded bags. For every bag given as a wedding gift to our couples at Larchfield Estate, a bag is also provided to a child in care. This initiative embodies the inspiring ethos of Madlug – Buy One // Wear One // Help One – ensuring dignity for every child and young person in care.

Madlug: A Brand with a Heart

Madlug, which stands for "Make a Difference Luggage," was founded by Dave Linton with a mission to provide dignity to children in care. Each bag purchased helps ensure that children do not have to carry their belongings in bin bags, which is an unfortunate reality for many. Madlug's sustainable practices and commitment to social impact perfectly align with the values of Larchfield Estate.

Larchfield Estate: A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Good

Larchfield Estate is renowned for its beautiful events venue, self-catering accommodation and film / photoshoot location, situated in the heart of Northern Ireland. As a family run carbon-negative business, we are deeply committed to sustainability and the protection of our local environment and wildlife. This new partnership with Madlug enhances our dedication to social responsibility, allowing our wedding couples to be part of a greater cause.

Wear with Pride, Spread Awareness

We hope our couples wear their bags with pride and help spread awareness of this incredible charity and brand. By carrying these dual-branded bags, they not only enjoy a beautiful and functional product but also contribute to a movement that brings dignity and care to children in need.
