The inspiration  - AN T-ÁDH DEARG - The Red Luck

We’ve all heard of the “luck of the Irish”, and we instantly think of the colour Green. What if it was actually Red.

In Irish, “Tá an t-ádh dearg ort” literally means “you have the red luck on you” an expression used to describe great or tremendous luck.

“An t-ádh dearg” is also one of many Irish expressions associated with menstruation and women’s reproductive lives. This connection is what inspired our collection.

As explored by Manchán Magan in “Focail na mBan - Women’s Words” the Irish language holds a rich and often forgotten vocabulary around women’s bodies, menstruation and their reproductive lives. “An t-ádh dearg “is one small part of that fascinating linguistic heritage.
