Working with Local Belfast Creatives

When we first started Le Chéile we wanted to create a high end fashion brand that expressed modern Irish culture. We take a lot of inspiration for our jewellery from what our mums and grandparents wear but add a modern flare to our designs.

After a few months of designing, making and creating, we had everything up and running and we were busting to work with local creatives in Belfast. We then got asked by the lovely Macy Stewart (@macystewartphoto) in March 2021 if we wanted to be part of a photoshoot she was organising - and of course we said yes!

We brought products from our first collection, lots of stackable rings and necklaces to contrast against the feminine florals. We were working with such a lovely team and it was so nice to get talking to creatives and sharing ideas. Due to Covid there was only a limited amount of people allowed in the studio but it was still nice to get talking to other people instead of watching Netflix haha.

Our wonderful team was:
