Dorinda Mc Cormack

Handweaving Haven in Monaghan

Dorinda McCormack is a hand weaver from with an eye for detail, specialising in creating vintage-style handbags and purses using fabric that is truly unique. Each piece is designed to be part of your everyday life adding a touch of colour and distinction to your day. Dorinda is inspired by the glamour of bygone days and the colours and textures that surround us today. Designing the fabric means looking at patterns and colour combinations that will ‘shine’ when matched with the right style of bag. Weaving the fabric is only the first stage in a process that involves cutting, piecing and sewing the pattern, while taking great care to ensure a flawless finish in the final product. Many parts are sewn by hand in order to achieve this. Dorinda believes that her pieces shouldn’t just be put by for good use – use them and enjoy them every day. 

Prices range from €9 for lapel pins, €30 for purses and up to €140 for bags.
