Meet the Designer & Founder
With a background in hospitality and fashion in Ireland and Europe, Sharon is a fervent eco activist.
Combining this passion with her creativity and design skills, Sharon’s vision for Kokoro Zen Wear is to grow the business internationally into an ultra-luxurious, 100% sustainable clothing brand.
Sharon has form when it comes to bringing new ideas to life. She introduced the hair scrunchie to Ireland in the 1980s, supplying Brown Thomas and other stores with her designs. She also established clothing boutiques in Dublin and Brussels, where she promoted Irish, European and US fashion brands.
In keeping with Sharon’s ethos to tread lightly on the earth, she has based Kokoro’s design studio in Dublin and only works with certified sustainable suppliers.
