About Us

La Mandarine is home to a wonderful collection of resort wear designed to make you look and feel fabulous in the sun. Founded in 2013 by Rachel Kelly, the collections are are designed in the North of Ireland and hand made in Jaipur, India.

Traditional Indian techniques of hand block printing and hand embroidery help make La Mandarine's dresses, kaftans, cover ups and accessories unique.

Our clients are women who want that effortless, cool-girl look on vacation. She values natural fabrics, originality and authenticity above the ubiquitous high street offer. She wants a few key pieces for summer, that will work double duty at home and on holiday at the beach club, by the pool and also in the evening. 

Our great prints and easy to wear shapes can be easily accessorised to create an effortlessly elevated look. La Mandarine's signature maxi kaftans and day dresses have a loyal following for good reason... they are just so comfortable to wear, always chic and the unique prints elevate the simplicity of the shape. 

We sell to some of the most glamorous and prestigious beach boutiques, including the iconic Club 55 Boutique in St Tropez and the gorgeous Coral Reef Club in Barbados.

By working with carefully chosen small organisations way we contribute, in a small but valuable way, to building a more sustainable world through thoughtful design, intentional production and philanthropy while celebrating timeless production techniques and enduring style.
