ON THE VERGE
French designer based in Ireland • Offbeat trendsetter • Adventurous traveller • LEATHER • BRASS • TEXTILE • For the wild spirited! www.onthevergeonline.com
It all started in India...
12 years ago I set off for India for 5 months to travel across and around the country. I totally fell in love with the culture and colors. Along the way, I made contact with local crafters. We kept in touch while I returned to my IT job.
For years I sat at my desk, dreaming of traveling again and starting my own fashion business.
The universe has been kind to me and the right moment and opportunity just happened. In November 2014, I burried my IT life for good. I set sails for India in January 2015. On The Verge adventures really started there and then.
I like functional designs, simplicity & natural elegance. I am a romantic with a big crush on 60's fashion. My love for leather comes from my upbringing around horses. My love for sarees of course comes from India - I will never get tired to work with their colors. All my products are one of a kind or made in very small editions.
My collection is ethically made. I am lucky to know every single person involved in the making. I spend 5 weeks in India every year to follow my production. I work with two incredible teams of tailors, one for my leather collection, and another one for my textile collection. As my business grows - theirs grows as well.
I strive for quality, uniqueness and to dress the wild spirited like me :)
Thank you so much for visiting my shop. I hope that if you order from me, you will feel the care in the making all the way to the packaging & the general love for what I do.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story,
Virginie AKA Virg

Just a normal day - on the way to collect some leather. That’s how we roll in India 🇮🇳 This year, @me_mi_mo, I’m passing my license. Mark my words! Not that I need it in India but... Missing India and my brother already
I should have shared this a few days ago when I received it. They are times in life when you second guess yourself. When I left for India this year, it was one of those times. I was not feeling 100%, for this reason I wasn't clear in my head with the vision of my new collection. But every year India is good to me. I eventually got clarity. I also work with the best team over there. Before I came home and we all stayed up until 6am to pack everything so we could give it all to my exporter. I knew then I was packing a good collection. But it's not until you get one of these emails, that you know, full circle, that you didn't do such a bad job. But this is one of the nicest message I have received. Sharon, I hope you don't mind me sharing this on here, you and your boyfriend made my night, weekend, month and you are setting the tone for the coming year for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH, from the bottom of my heart <3
In Kinsale, my cargo has arrived last night so I have a lot of new STOCK with me today.
Hi everybody! I cannot remember who wanted this kimono that sold out and asked me for the second one made in the same saree. My cargo has arrived but my memory went. So if you see this, let me know who you are again :) Thank you!!

This is the moment I love 💕 Preparing the envelops for the orders going out tomorrow :)
I just want to give a thumbs up to my Indian brother, his amazing tailors, who survived my lunches, my adventurous turmeric/Masala/ dates chai, my colorful language punctuated by countless F***, we made it, you made it! I’m so grateful for your work, our laughs, our team, the end result is beyond my hopes! People love our kimonos!!! Thank you to all my friends and friendly customers for your support and comments this first week. Main tumase pyaar karata hoon - NAMASTE 🙏
