The Irish designer showcasing range at Fashion Week that Catherine Connolly loves wearing
Her designs have gotten the seal of approval from the Irish President who has worn them on several occasions
A young Irish fashion designer, loved by Irish President Catherine Connolly, is continuing her meteoric rise after being selected as one of the few people to showcase her range at Ireland’s Fashion Week later this year.
Donegal’s Sarah Gallagher is already exporting her clothes worldwide and has her range stocked in shops all around Ireland, but her biggest endorsement of all is that Catherine Connolly has worn her designs on many occasions.
The Bunbeg woman, behind the hugely successful ‘Sarah Lorraine’ label, has expressed her pride and delight at having her brand chosen for such an important industry event.
‘Made In Donegal’ is a bespoke range from ‘Sarah Lorraine’,
Its range includes handmade, stunning capes made from 100% Merino Wool from the well-known Molloy & Sons and lined with satin, sold across Europe, the USA and Canada.
She says, “I was over the moon to receive the news. Ireland Fashion Week is such an incredible platform for me.
“I will be part of the ‘Irish Heritage Show’ which highlights sustainability, and this is really what my brand is all about -beautiful Irish tweeds and natural fabrics that speak to our rich and vibrant heritage”.
“This year is shaping up to be another great year. My store is flying, and customers love the fact that Sarah Lorraine is so versatile, utilitarian and keenly priced for what it is.
“I am exporting worldwide, and my range is now stocked in stores from Donegal to Kerry and in between, which is a massive endorsement for the label. I am proud and honoured too that President Catherine Connolly has chosen to wear my designs on several occasions.
“I am so grateful to the people of Donegal who have given me unstinting support from day one and who gave me the confidence to push the brand.”
