Surprise and delight your Secret Santa with a scarf that will keep them nice and cosy during the winter. It’s large enough that it can double as a shawl!

Brighten up your Secret Santa’s Christmas with a pop of colour! Nothing makes us happier than receiving something fun and feminine at Christmas. And bonus points that it’s purchased from an independent Irish brand.

How adorable are these hand painted fox earrings? They’re also gold plated and come in a cute gift box. We hope our loved ones are reading this… hint, hint!

Boxes piled high!

Spring is getting closer & closer, faster and faster so we’re now finalising our Circus designs! This includes our ‘Everywoman’ Circus Rita blouse, inspired by Rita Hayworth, one of the original everywomen. It comes in a classic silhouette with 3 different print options- Bow, Floral or Bird. The magic of the Rita is that it can be formal or casual. Dress it down with jeans or dress it up tucked in to a pencil skirt.

Carousel Goes Crazy for Christmas !

Who doesn’t love Audrey Hepburn?

She was intelligent, graceful, charming and the epitome of class. That’s the exact reason we named the Audrey dress after her!
