Mella O Brolchain’s hip belt to accommodate phone, wallet and keys, a “muck resistant” mini skirt and cowl are just some of the practical but stylish items in her Tramps Outdoor clothing range designed for Irish weather conditions. The belt is a nifty take on a tool belt that sits on the hip like a holster and the mini skirt can be worn with leggings. O Brolchain is a graphic and web designer and soi disant builder and gardener. When a friend made a skirt and leggings out of recycled canvas chairs, it inspired her to set up a clothing range suited to the Irish climate. The designer launched her label with help from Harness Creativity and exhibits it at Showcase this month. See her web video on Vimeo.
Mella O Brolchain’s hip belt is a safe bet
