Fashion brand Sosandar will expand into Ireland with an in-store launch at Arnotts, Ireland’s largest department store following the opening of its first two standalone stores in the UK.
The launch at Arnotts in central Dublin follows Sosandar’s successful online partnership with the retailer.
Customers in Ireland have shown strong demand for the brand since its online launch and will now be able to shop the brand in a bricks-and-mortar setting.
Arnotts is owned by the UK-based Selfridges Group and is home to premium brands such as Longchamp, AllSaints, Jigsaw and Barbour.
Sosandar’s first two standalone stores in the UK opened recently in Chelmsford and Marlow. It has signed a lease on a third store in Newcastle.
“The reception since opening has been nothing short of fantastic and we are grateful to the people of Chelmsford and Marlow for giving us such a wonderfully warm welcome,” said Sosandar co-CEOs Ali Hall and Julie Lavington in a joint statement.
“Arnotts is a well-established and upmarket department store in Dublin, well suited to Sosandar’s high-quality product range, and we’re excited for the opportunity the partnership presents,” they added.
“Our products were well received online with Arnotts and we’re delighted to now be able to offer our Irish customers a more personalised in-store shopping experience.”
