A Night of Irish Heritage in Galway ā¤ļø

A Celebration of Local Talent š«
The evening didnāt stop at conversations; it also included a showcase of Galwayās finest local brands and retailers: Ćr Jewellery, Les Jumelles, Emily Jean Atelier and The Fashion Studio.

Looking Ahead š
Our live show in Galway was truly remarkable - not only is the West of Ireland home to three of the brand founders who shared their stories during the evening, but it also served as the inspiration behind Chupiās recent Claddagh ring creation for Nicola Coughlan, which featured in British Vogue last year.
