Unique handmade textiles... to wear, to furnish, to admire

Kim Doherty produces unique, hand-made textiles, to wear, for soft furnishings, and art pieces for your interior spaces.

What is really important to Kim is to be able to share her absolute passion for her work and practice with you, in your life. Kim has a deep personal connection with every one of her pieces, which is what she strives to share and explore with you.

It’s the tactile nature of textiles that has so much appeal for Kim. Creating things that cry out to be touched is very satisfying. From the fine silks & wools employed to produce her signature, award-winning handwoven scarves, to the array of other materials such as wire & fishing lines which are knitted or woven to create art pieces and jewellery.

Kim takes great pride in producing her range of unique handwoven fabrics.

No two scarves or shawls are the same. Whether it be yarns, colour, or design, each scarf is different. It is paramount that you have something exclusive; something only for you. Kim prefers to work with extremely fine yarns made from fibres from nature, such as silk, wool, cashmere, cotton, linen, tencel and rayon. Hand- weaving is an ancient art, and a very lengthy process. In fact, more hours are spent preparing the yarn and the loom before the actual weaving gets underway! It’s a very creative process and slight imperfections are part of this process, and indeed, add to the uniqueness of the piece. Scarves will arrive to you wrapped in tissue, in a quality box brandishing Kim Doherty’s label, along with some brief information regarding Kim’s practice.
