About

Rose McMahon is the maker and designer behind Rightful Owner. The garments are made in small batches or made to order, many of these pieces are sewn by Rose herself with care, patience and love. 

I have been in love with clothing my entire life, but like all relationships, this love of clothes has gone through many changes and evolutions. RIGHTFUL OWNER comes from my desire to return to that exciting feeling of falling in love with dressing up that I had as a child. That girl dressed up as an act of love, with no understanding of what was cool, or chic, or sexy. 

Rose comes from a long line of seamstresses and she draws from them for inspiration. Her great great aunt Ciara was an incredible dressmaker, and her great grandmother Fortunata was a milliner. As life was much too difficult for these women to have their own businesses, Rose knows that they watch down on her and wish her well in everything that she creates.
