Una Burke
Úna Burke is a multi-award winning Luxury Leather Accessories Designer and Artist. Born and brought up in North County Roscommon, the West of Ireland, Úna studied and completed a BA in Fashion Design at the Limerick School of Art and Design in 2003. In 2007, Úna received a distinction for her MA in Fashion Artefact and her graduate collection, ‘RETREAT’, won the London College of Fashion ”Off Catwalk Award for Design 2009”. Ms Burke’s journey has been one of positive influence with the strong desire and conviction to showcase and emanate change through the telling of specific stories embedded within each collection she creates every season.
Each piece produced in Úna’s South London Atelier is crafted entirely by hand using British and Italian Vegetable Tanned leathers, earning the brand the ‘Positive Luxury Butterfly Trust Mark’. With her work being concept based there are often human stories behind the designs and influence is taken from psychological, military and medical sources meaning her styles are timeless, elegant and sculptural. These pieces are designed for the discerning customer who appreciates quality and creativity.
