“This week on My Soul Style I chat to Aoife Rooney, Founder & designer of Aoife Lifestyle Bags; a range of sustainable, circular, gender-neutral bags that are both functional & luxurious. Aoife is breaking paradigms around what luxury bags can be, by designing collections made from recycled nylon made from reclaimed ghost fishing nets dumped at sea & carpets rescued from landfill. This type of recycled nylon can be recycled perpetually.  This mother of two & former interior architect turned fashion and environmental designer passionately believes that waste is a design flaw and has spent years researching how to close the loop on the pieces she designs by cleaning the oceans one bag at a time. Her designs have appeared in both British Vogue & Tatler so it is a great honour to have her share her soul style journey with us today on My Soul Style.
In the episode we discuss circular fashion
How trash can be turned into treasure.
And why ocean & sea conservation is so critical to the overall health of our planet.
Along the way we dip into Aoife’s personal relationship with fashion, style & her journey to designing an eco circular brand.
