Sorcha is an Irish designer celebrated for her unique, bespoke creations.
With a love of handmade craft and ornamental detailing, her designs are grand poetic gestures, imbued with a sense of ceremony.

Her designs have been featured in a slew of high-profile publications including British Vogue, Vogue Italia, LOVE Magazine, W, Dazed and worn by Beyoncé on the cover of Interview Germany.
