Their collections—spanning ready-to-wear and homeware—embody a refined vision of modern luxury, where fashion and interior design converge effortlessly. With a rich archive of meticulously hand-drawn prints, BERNADETTE transcends the boundaries of a traditional fashion house, cultivating a lifestyle defined by authenticity, joy, and optimism.

At the heart of BERNADETTE lies a commitment to timeless beauty that resonates across generations. Founded by a mother-daughter duo, the brand embodies a unique intergenerational dialogue, where classic elegance meets contemporary vision. This harmonious collaboration draws on shared values of artistry and authenticity, resulting in designs that transcend fleeting trends and speak to women of all ages.

Celebrated for its signature botanical prints—described by British Vogue as “florals with a fizz”—BERNADETTE infuses artistry into every piece. These designs embody a vibrant yet sophisticated aesthetic that elevates both fashion and homeware, making them instantly recognizable. Beyond prints, the brand explores couture-inspired silhouettes and sculptural volumes, offering modern women the perfect balance of comfort and elegance.

With a focus on empowering women to embrace their unique style, BERNADETTE challenges conventional notions of beauty by celebrating individuality and self-expression.

Together, the de Geyter duo’s mission is to inspire a modern femininity—one that is both timeless and daring, graceful yet bold.

Bernadette's creative journey began early, as her mother passed down a love for knitting and crocheting, inspiring her to craft unique items that couldn’t be found in stores. This hands-on experience sparked her creative spirit, and throughout the years, she has embraced fashion as a playful and personal expression. Her carefully curated archive of beloved pieces has become a constant source of inspiration for many of the designs within the BERNADETTE brand.

Bernadette’s expertise was further honed during her time as a buyer for Ralph Lauren, where she immersed herself in the seamless integration of ready-to-wear fashion and homeware—a concept that deeply influenced her vision for BERNADETTE. As co-founder, she dedicates herself to the development of the brand's home and tableware collections, enriching the lifestyle vision of BERNADETTE.

With a keen eye for decoration, styling, and fabrics, Bernadette serves as a full-time consultant for the brand, where she uses her expertise on timeless forms that work for women of all ages. She focuses on research and the introduction of innovative shapes that complement Charlotte's designs. Her approach blends nonchalance with elegance, and together with her daughter, they carefully select colors and fabrics, drawing on Bernadette’s deep understanding of the luxury clientele.

Charlotte honed her craft at Antwerp’s prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where she developed a distinctive artistic style characterized by a passion for color, bold shapes, and print. Driven by her desire to share the unique mother-daughter narrative, Charlotte soon after graduation, embarked on the creative collaboration in 2018 with her mother, Bernadette.

Charlotte’s artistic process starts by creating hand-drawn prints, which she brings to life both on paper and digitally. Each collection she directs the mood of the season, often drawing inspiration from the natural world reflected through her print and use of color.

Beyond her drawings, Charlotte masterfully explores couture-inspired shapes and sculptural volumes found through the history of fashion.

Her mission is to empower women to embrace their femininity while celebrating their individuality. Each design is crafted with comfort and sophistication at its core, honoring women of all ages as her modern-day muses.

Charlotte brings a distinct eye for creating immersive universes, where sensitivity is at the core of every design. Her diverse creative interests fuel a constant exploration, serving as a full-time research process that informs both the collections and the overall vision of the brand.
