About Bernie Murphy

Bernie Murphy is from Inishowen, Co. Donegal. She grew up in a family in which traditional sewing and knitting skills were valued and at a time when the textile industry was still a major provider of employment throughout the north west.

Bernie trained in pattern-making and cutting and worked as a garment technologist for a major manufacturer; this experience has given her an in-depth understanding of fabrics and garment structure.

Each garment is an expression of luxury and style in contemporary Irish fashion and textile design. Imagined, designed and handcrafted in Donegal, Ireland.
