Our Fourth Generation Business

In 1936 our founders Nora and Joady Fogarty, commenced the manufacture of skirts in the coastal town of Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.

They set out to produce a garment which offered value to the customer through a combination of good design, fit and finish.

Such was their success that women from many different countries completed their wardrobe with a Brendella Skirt, prompting our slogan “We Skirt the Globe”.

Ninety years on and four generations later, our business continues to flourish.

Sticking to what we know….

We are committed to the same core values today which have stood the test of time. The knowledge and know how built up over the years has served us well and we will stick to these principles.

Quality…

The value we offer is expressed most simply in the quality we offer. This quality comprises three areas:

  • Quality in terms of raw materials: our woollen fabrics are sourced from specialist weavers who also have a long tradition in the weaving industry. 
  • Quality in terms of manufacture: Our specialist knowledge gleaned over the years allows us to offer a superior garment in terms of cut and fit.
  • Quality in terms of design: we seek to make garments which will stand the test of time. Our skirts are designed to look as distinctive in years to come as they look today.

Our Staff…

We are fortunate indeed to have a staff of experienced craftsmen and craftswomen.

They are the reason that a Brendella Skirt distinguishes itself from other brands.

Their commitment to their craft, and the pride they take in producing beautiful garments are the essence of what makes a Brendella Skirt special.
