Marie Nancarrow

Designer and founder of Titanic Denim, Marie Nancarrow, grew up in the 70’s and 80’s in Belfast in a family of Rockers. Her dad was in a band with Van Morrison, and her brother had his own rock band. Marie ended up having to sew patches onto his denim jackets and jeans. And that’s where her love of working with denim began.  

After a fashion and textiles course at Belfast College, and a placement with designer Paul Costello who specialised in Irish Linen, Marie headed to Italy for adventures as a model, fashion designer and even a flight attendant for Lauda Air. Now back in Belfast, Marie works in Wardrobe when the big gigs are in town, helping the stylists for Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, Sting and many more and she finally launched Titanic Denim, her dream, in 2015. 

Each Titanic Denim piece is hand made from recycled denim. Whether designer jeans, jacket, handbag, pooch-pouch, guitar case... each piece is 100% unique. A crafted combination of 200 years of Belfast’s shipyard history with a rock n’roll attitude that says, ‘I lead, you follow’.
