In 2005, I tried to buy a pair of slippers from a local lady named Anna in my home village of Westendorf, nestled in the heart of the Austrian Tirol. However, Anna wouldn’t sell me a pair. Instead, she told me that if I truly appreciated the craftsmanship, I should learn it myself. Intrigued by her words, I did just that.

The craft Anna referred to had been passed down through generations, dating back to the 18th century. Over the years, I honed my skills, learning the art of crafting slippers by hand — a technique that not only connects me to the past but also to the natural world around me.

Years later, living on the Atlantic Coast in the North-West of Ireland, I was inspired by the chill of the sea breeze and the rugged landscape. Drawing on my skills and the heritage of the Tyrolean Alps, I created a collection of 100% wool products, each one handmade with care and dedication.

The result is a range of functional, timeless pieces that reflect both the warmth of tradition and the beauty of nature. Inspired by the cold, my creations are designed to bring comfort and durability, whether you’re facing the winds of Ireland or enjoying the coziness of your home. 

Today, I specialize in crafting exquisite, one-of-a-kind home and wearable products made from 100% wool. Every item is meticulously handcrafted from start to finish in my studio in Strandhill, Co. Sligo, Ireland.

Crafting with Purpose

I take great pride in sourcing only limited quantities of premium wool, ensuring that each piece is of the highest quality. My approach prioritizes sustainability and uniqueness, guaranteeing that every creation is as individual as the person who will wear or use it.

By combining the heritage of the Tyrolean Alps with the natural beauty of the Atlantic coastline, I have developed a stunning collection that blends traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility. These timeless pieces reflect both the warmth of the past and the beauty of the nature that inspires them.

Timeless, Sustainable Craftsmanship

Each of my pieces is crafted with attention to detail, quality, and care. From the initial design to the final stitch, I pour my heart into every creation. I believe in the power of handmade – not just as a technique, but as a way of life that honors the past, respects nature, and provides something truly special for those who appreciate it.

A Personal Connection

I am born and raised in Westendorf. On a holiday in Ireland in 2008 I fell in love, and not only with the breathtaking beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

In 2015, I embarked on a self-taught apprenticeship in sewing and free-motion embroidery, drawing inspiration from both the Austrian Alps and the Irish Atlantic Ocean.

My commitment lies in championing 100% natural fibres, and I’m proud to be crafting beautiful pieces from 100% wool sourced from Ireland and Austria.

Wool

100% Natural

The oldest known fibre.

Biodegradable

It releases valuable nutrients and carbon back into the soil, leaving a zero micro plastic footprint.

Renewable

Sheep are shorn annually, allowing for continuous harvesting of wool.

Recyclable

Wool is 100% recyclable and is the worlds most recycled textile.

Lavender

For my lavender pouches, I use only Irish-grown lavender, hand-harvested and dried in Co. Wicklow.

Lavender offers numerous benefits, including:

Restoring healthy sleep

Providing a calming and soothing effect

Reducing headaches, anxiety and depression

Lavender is a highly sustainable crop, as it does not rely on pesticides or fertilizers.
