Karl Donoghue launched his own label in 1995 with a unique vision to push the perception of shearling and leather within fashion while developing an extensive knowledge of the craft. Karl quickly gained the loyalty of international stockists including Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols and Isetan.

The foundations of the brand are strongly rooted in London where the design studio operates. While London remains a significant hub for the brand’s operations, the majority of production takes place in Northern Spain and Turkey, where our manufacturers are internationally recognised for their exceptional craftsmanship working with fashion brands such as Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Loewe and Jacquemus. The collection of women’s outerwear, knitwear and accessories is handcrafted to the highest standards using traditional techniques ensuring a truly luxurious product with longevity.

Karl’s knowledge and passion of skins developed from his close relationship with European tanneries, cultivating innovative and exclusive finishes. This dedication to create unique and sustainable products combined with modern fabrics has paved the way for numerous collaborations with Net-A-Porter, Fox Umbrellas, Morgan Cars, Katharine Hamnett and Lane Crawford. The continued effort to produce creative designs has resulted in celebrity clients including Kate Moss, Olivia Palermo, Deepika Padukone, Julianne Moore, Stella Tennant, Kylie Minogue, Kylie Jenner and HRH Princess Eugene.

Today, the renowned brand is stocked in many prestigious retailers across the world.
