Bandraíocht by Alanna-Erin

Bespoke Lingerie

Cut once,for one woman.

Every Bandraíocht creation is made as a single piece. There is no size run, no repeat production and no second identical version waiting in a drawer. Fabric is chosen for one body and one idea.

Construction is slow: hand-finished seams, lace placed by eye, edges worked with thread rather than machinery wherever the piece asks for it.

Inside the process

The work is visiblein the finishing.

  • Fabrics sourced in small lengths, often the only length available.
  • Patterns drafted to the individual rather than adapted from a block.
  • Lace motifs cut and placed by hand so no two pieces mirror each other.
  • Limited availability, by nature rather than by marketing.

Commission a Creation

Commissioningan artist,not choosing options.

A commission begins with a conversation about what the piece is for, what you want to feel wearing it, what you never want to wear again.

From there Alanna-Erin works through fabric, colour and shape with you, sketching and sampling before anything is cut. You see the piece take form as it is made.

It is a collaboration with a maker, not a configurator. Timelines depend on the piece, and only a small number are taken on at once.
