Luxuryemporium.ie Launches

Ireland’s first online luxury shoes, bag and accessories boutique launches

Ireland’s first online luxury shoes, bags and accessories boutique has launched at www.theluxuryemporium.ie. The new boutique gives Irish women the chance for the first time to buy luxury designer brands online from an Irish based company with the added benefit of free delivery and returns (whereas netaporter.com charges over €35 for delivery) . Designers available include Philip Treacy, Pauric Sweeney, Giuseppe Zanotti, Lara Bohinc, Terry de Havilland and Rupert Sanderson and an exclusive to Ireland, Nicholas King jewellery. Whether sending a gift to yourself or someone special this Christmas, all accessories and gift vouchers come luxuriously packaged. See theluxuryemporium.ie.

Lisa is buying for Irish women to make good investments, stay current and on-trend but with an elegance and classicism that never goes out of style. While there are trends available, they are not disposable and Lisa is always adding to their luxury brand portfolio with new designers and stock each month.

With a quarter of Irish women buying online, a figure growing with increasing broadband provision, theluxuryemporium.ie founder Lisa Carroll identified a gap in the market for an Irish online high-end store. With luxury brands all moving towards online stores and the 10 year success of online fashion empire, net-a-porter.com, Lisa decided an online boutique was the right strategy for the Irish market. She also provides the added benefits of free Irish deliveries and returns.

Working longer hours, the number of Irish women indulging their passion for shopping online is increasing. Trends show that peak times for online shopping in the UK and Ireland are lunchtime and after 9 pm. Supporting Lisa’s claims that women like her have the same passion for shopping but don’t have the time to shop on the high street.

Theluxuryemporium.ie has secured a coup by signing Nicholas King jewellery to its brand portfolio, not available in any retail outlet in Ireland. From working with John Galliano and Donna Karen, Nicholas King founded his label in 2008 and is gaining increasing acclaim across Europe for his handcrafted resin bangles, as featured in London Fashion Week.

Having built up a very successful consultancy business over the past eight years, Lisa knows all about the shopping challenges of busy Irish women. A confessed ‘shoe-aholic’, Lisa’s long-time dream was to establish a luxury shoes, bags and accessories boutique especially for Irish women. With buying trips to London, Paris and Milan over the past three months, meeting Giuseppe Zanotti en route, she sees her dream realised with the launch of theluxuryemporium.ie.
