Rachel is an Irish designer based in Dublin and the founder of anacheleile, a handmade textile and swimwear studio inspired by nature, colour, and everyday life. With a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from NCAD and training in pattern cutting from the Grafton Academy, Rachel combines colour knowledge with technical skills to create swimwear.

Her journey began while living in Barcelona, where she was drawn to the city streets. Each fabric she creates is named after a part of the city that shaped her experience — from walks up Montjuïc and runs through Poble Sec to glasses of sangria on a friend’s balcony in Gràcia. Her favourite textile, Barceloneta, was inspired by her apartment and the plants her neighbours kept outside their homes.

At the heart of anracheleile is a belief in creativity, movement, and sustainability. Rachel designs playful, reversible swimwear that celebrates individuality and self-expression — each piece offering two looks in one. Her work transforms love, pattern, and emotion into vibrant, wearable pieces that feel playful and free-spirited.
