Meet the Founder

Celia Costa 
Founder of Bacanara

Founder Celia Costa creates handmade, hand-embroidered pieces in London, with care for every detail and a love of uniqueness.

Founder and designer of Bacanara Fashion, Celia, has been making dresses since she was a kid when she would stitch dresses for her friends and her own dolls by hand. After all these years she is still making the dresses by hand, the biggest difference is the size.

Specialising in only the highest quality, handmade clothing, Bacanara Fashion creates both statement dresses and head pieces for all occasions.

“I want every woman to feel like the only one in the universe.”

I create dresses and headpieces for women who want to wear something distinctive pieces with their own character, made to be treasured.

For me, the details matter. From the embroidery to the finishing touches, each piece is made with care and a focus on timeless beauty. I hope that when you wear a Bacanara design, you feel special, confident and completely yourself.
