Designer and creative director Meritta designed and made her first suit at just nine years old and later spent years in London working at various design houses and studios before returning to Ireland to open Ail Ruin design centre in 1995 with her husband Dermot.

Ail Ruin gained an national reputation for it's creative curation of international labels at Meritta's own designs.

Mise Tusa is the next phase of this that focuses on Meritta's innovative designs.
