"She adores her home county, particularly the Inishowen Peninsula, and given half a chance will wax eloquently for hours about the mountains, the hiking trails, the swim spots, even the local tweed. However, she spent many years in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Nanjing. She thoroughly enjoyed those years and felt very at home there too. "I must be the only woman in Donegal with chopsticks in her kitchen," she laughs."
"The first impression of businesswoman Andrea Shaw's home is one of comfort and elegance combined. Then two distinct themes emerge - a lot of the furnishings are Chinese, while the rest are very Donegal, and happily the two work really well together, just as the two cultures have done in Andrea's own life."
Andrea Shaw blended Chinese and Donegal aesthetics in her home, with many Chinese furnishings alongside Donegal pieces. She loves the Inishowen Peninsula and often speaks about its mountains, hiking trails, swim spots and local tweed. She lived for many years in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Nanjing and held important positions with top fashion companies including Calvin Klein. She founded the Shanghai Sirens GAA team during her time in Asia. The attractions of Inishowen ultimately brought her back to Donegal, where her home reflects the blend of the two cultures.
