Cornelia O’Donovan trained at the Royal College of Art and lives and works in London.

Revisiting the most-loved designs from 2023 and 2024, this curated edit brings back the very best of Birdie and Sarah’s creative partnership - a perfect balance of playfulness and timeless style, available in very limited numbers.
