Fashion brand Donna Ida launched in 2006, after its Sydney-born founder Donna Ida Thornton spotted a gap in the market for a one-stop shop dedicated to premium denim.
Recognising that women often struggled to find the perfect fit, she set out to create a brand that focused on flattering cuts, high-quality fabrics and timeless style.
Over the years, it has become a go-to destination for denim lovers, offering everything from classic jeans to boilersuits and jumpsuits.
She lives at historic Langdon Court in Devon with her husband, restaurateur Robert Walton – affectionately known as “Dazzler” – and their pack of chihuahuas.
