A Belfast fashion designer who had a successful career with big brands but decided to create her own has won a prestigious prize.
Síofra Caherty, who is originally from Armagh, worked with Adidas in Germany for years and other companies before taking a leap of faith to start her own business back home.
She is one of five winners who received a €10,000 cash prize to support the development of their craft and business skills in the 2022 RDS Craft Awards.
