After the harsh impact of Covid restrictions on its trading, the Irish fashion and design retailer is back in profit and expanding its bricks and mortar and ecommerce presence

The Irish fashion and design retailer, owned by the O’Gorman family, returned to an operating profit last year as trading bounced back after Covid and it invested in new stores.

Speaking to The Irish Times, Ms Moynihan said: “In 2023 we returned to strong operating profit, there’s been really good momentum in the business. We’ve been investing in our bricks and mortar stores as well as in our ecommerce websites, which is driving good growth for us. “Also, we’ve been doing a lot of work in developing new own brand ranges, such as the Lennon Courtney collaboration, which launched last October. That is really helping to drive footfall and improving margin in the business. We were back in profit in 2023, and we’re budgeting for even more profit in 2024.”
