Growing together.   We recently announced a new partnership with Crann - Trees for Ireland for Ireland, aimed at planting 100,000 trees in Ireland over the next ten years. This initiative reinforces our commitment to environmental sustainability and the importance of afforestation in Ireland. In addition, we aim to reduce paper usage in our branded packaging by over 50%, ensuring that customers can continue to enjoy the experience of their branded bags while supporting a sustainable future.    From August 6th, a €0.60 charge will be applied to all branded paper carrier bags in Brown Thomas, BT2 and Planet Beauty stores, with all profits from this initiative being invested in planting trees in Ireland.   We invite our customers to join us in our mission to reduce paper usage and drive positive change for all.

Discover a spectacular showcase of Ireland’s design talent, featuring 26 designers across jewellery, ready-to-wear, accessories and footwear.
