Our History
a|wear started life as part of Galen
Weston's hugely successful retail empire stretching from Canada (Holt Renfew), to
the UK (Selfridges Group) and Ireland (Brown Thomas Group).
In the late 1970's,
the Brown Thomas Group saw there was a demand for a separate chain of specialist
affordable fashion clothing stores and a|wear was born. In 1985, Dublin saw the
first a|wear store open on Grafton st.
By 2007, our store portfolio includes
25 stores in the republic of Ireland, 2 stores in Northern Ireland and one concession
on level 2 of Selfridges, Birmingham.
