Luaineach

Inspired by travels of my surrounding landscapes in Scotland, and the people you meet along the way; LUAINEACH (meaning “wanderlust” in Scottish Gaelic) explores the dialogue between fabrics and the relationships they build in describing a person; from their personal aesthetic to their interests and lifestyle. I love to experiment with colour, texture, and weights of fabrics by mixing and matching them to invent interesting, eclectic characters telling the stories of these ‘folk’ through my collection. Sustainability runs naturally throughout my collection, from deadstock and natural materials to upcycling unconventional fabrics such as old upholstery fabrics. Using second-hand is not only more ethical but adds depth to my narratives as they all already hold their own sense of history, showing signs of their past life through wear and tear.
