About Us

In 2010 an epic backpacking adventure around South America first posed the problem:

How could I keep my phone TO hand but not IN my hand?... and so the idea of The Original Wrist Pocket was born.

Role on 10 years after initial design concept:

I was a commercial pilot, mom of 3 small boys and decided to  take a risk, leaving my flying job behind to bring the Original Wrist Pocket to life.

That same year, The Original Wrist Pocket bagged me a place (excuse the pun!) at the finals of Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur.

In 2021 more shocking news arrived in the form of winning Virgin Media's Backing Business campaign!

It's been a whirlwind adventure, resulting in the opening of offices + a fulfilment centre here in Dungarvan, Co.Waterford.

Today, we are on a mission to empower women through fashionable + functional products that will assist them in living a safe and carefree life.

When I'm not parenting, designing or doing grown-up business type things, you'll find me sea swimming, avoiding the seals here in beautiful Dungarvan, Co.Waterford!
