The St Brigid Collection: Dunleer Roots, Wexford Made
Welcome to a collection where ancient heritage meets modern grit. At Duffy & Porter, our connection to St Brigid isn't just about a date on the calendar—it’s personal.
Our founder, Maria, was born and raised in Dunleer, Co. Louth, right in the heart of Brigid’s country. Growing up surrounded by the legends of Brigid’s fierce independence and her "miracle well" in Dunleer, Maria learned early on that Brigid wasn't just a saint of the past; she was the original trailblazer. She was a woman of action, a protector of the hearth, and the ultimate example of what it means to "give it socks."
Crafted on the Border, Rooted in Legend
Today, from our studio nestled on the Wexford and Carlow border, we bring that "Louth energy" to life. We blend traditional symbols with modern techniques—like precision UV printing and mixed-media birch wood—to create pieces that speak to the modern woman.
For Your Personal Strength: Our "Give it Socks" Pocket Charms are tactile reminders of your own inner fire, designed to be carried through life’s big (and small) moments.
For Your Home’s Protection: From our UV-Printed Slate Brat Bhríde Plaques (perfect for the eve of February 1st) to our Birch & Acrylic Hearth Pieces, each item is built to bring Brigid’s legendary protection to your doorstep.
For the Light: Our Acrylic Sun Catchers and A4 Art Prints celebrate the return of the light, marking the beginning of Spring (Imbolc) with vibrant colour and timeless blessings.
More Than a Gift—A Connection
Every piece in this collection tells a story of resilience. Whether you are seeking a traditional Brat Bhríde blessing or a modern empowering mantra, you are receiving a piece of authentic Irish craftsmanship that honours the "Fiery Arrow" of Kildare and the local spirit of Dunleer.
Embrace your heritage. Stand in your strength. Shop the collection that’s rooted in Louth and handmade with heart on the Wexford-Carlow border.
