Brown Thomas has been described as the crème de la crème of department stores – and the description fits. Its original base on Dublin’s Grafton Street – a byword for cosmopolitan luxury and style – is the flagship. Label lovers will adore the department store’s Irish designer showcase; formal wear section; designer shoe and bag boutique; outstanding menswear department; and jewellery counters. You’ll find Ireland’s biggest and best collection of brands, including Burberry, Prada, Tiffany & Co, Jimmy Choo, Givenchy, Louise Kennedy and Victoria Beckham. Thousands of tourists flock here annually. There’s a restaurant on the third floor, while shoppers are also enticed by the contemporary Brown’s Bar and Café; a barber service; and personal shopping gurus. 

• There are also BT outlets in Cork, Galway and Limerick.
