Shop Talk with Jump the Hedges; 'Lessons Learned'

Shop Talk with Siofra Caherty; founder of Jump the Hedges!
About this Event

Jump the Hedges was founded by designer Siofra Caherty after spending many years working in the fashion industry, from couture fashion with ThreeAsFour in New York to technical sportswear with Adidas in Germany to costume breakdown with Games of Thrones in Belfast.

Siofra was unable to find a sustainable and ethically made bag for carrying a yoga mat and so Jump The Hedges was born. Reclaimed materials such as a truck tarpaulin and aeroplane seat materials are sourced from all over Ireland and industrially washed in rainwater. Each bag is then hand cut and stitched on a vintage Japenese Juki sewing machine in a small workshop at the foot of Cave Hill mountain in north Belfast. Each and every bag is totally unique.
