Karl Donoghue launched his eponymous label in 1995 with a unique vision to push the perception of shearling and leather within fashion. The Yorkshire-born designer moved to London in 1991 to study at Ravensbourne College of Design, where his graduation collection gained notable success. The brand quickly gained loyalty from international stockists including Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols and Isetan. Rooted in London where the design studio operates, the collection of women's outerwear, knitwear and accessories is handcrafted to the highest standards using traditional techniques. Production takes place in Northern Spain and Turkey with manufacturers recognized for working with luxury brands like Chloé, Louis Vuitton, and Loewe. Karl's expertise developed through close relationships with European tanneries, creating innovative and exclusive finishes. The brand has attracted celebrity clients including Kate Moss, Olivia Palermo, and Julianne Moore, establishing itself as a renowned luxury shearling specialist stocked in prestigious retailers worldwide.
