Design Process
Our design approach is to start with classic shapes, introducing new elements of style, ensuring that shape and fit exude femininity while adding a signature splash of colour in luxurious fabrics. Each piece from the collection is designed and made in Ireland by Heidi and her team.

Our Fabrics
We have worked with our fabric suppliers for over 15 years. That dedication is key - family run businesses based in Italy, France and Spain work with us through-out the design process to source luxurious fabrics in different weights - ensuring our collections are unique and made to last the test of time!
