Time to start planning.

The countdown to Christmas is officially on and now is the best time to begin buying gifts for your loved ones. In this gift guide, we're looking at Irish fashion designers, milliners, jewellery designers and labels. No matter what time of the year it is, it's always great to support Irish creators, however, now that the Christmas season is in full swing, we're going to take a closer look into what Irish made creations the fashion lover in your life will adore. While these pieces might be on the pricier side, they're definitely worth investing in - and you can be guaranteed that they will last your loved ones a lifetime.

Caterina Coyne The Nadia Top - €125

I absolutely adore this top and if you know someone who is always out and about, this is the perfect present. It will suit every body shape and it's a gift that will last in their wardrobes for years to come.

MoMuse 14kt gold filled pearl cluster pendant - €75

This necklace is gorgeous and oh, so delicate. Whether it's for a friend, an aunt or your mum, it's definitely something they will cherish.

Sewphie mustard cross body bag - €35

If you want to get ahead of the crowd with Irish designers, then you need to check out Sophie Murphy. Her label, Sewphie, is one to watch and this bag is one of our favourites. Such a good price too.

Chupi gold plated Worth Your Weight in Gold Wolfhound coin necklace - €149

If you have someone really special in your life, this is the gift to get them. Chupi is one of those Irish designers that is on the top of everyone's wish list because her creations are just so unique and  special.

Aoife Ireland Silver Moonlight dress - €270

Aoife McNamara became one of our favourite Irish designers this year. Every collection she created I lusted after - so, if you know somebody who is a fan of hers, grab them this dress; it's just dreamy.

Alison Roe blue Fedora hat - €70

Know somebody who's into hats? Whether it's a beret, a bowler or indeed the fedora, it's something special that will last them year after year. I love this striking blue design and the feather pin makes it that that extra bit glam.

Four Threads winter coat - €850

If you *really* want to go all out for that friend or loved one, check out Four Threads. The label is simplistic in design but, totally classic. When it comes to sustainability, it's definitely the way to go. We love this coat as it will never go out of fashion.

Lucy Nagle draped scarf - €136

Lucy Nagle's cashmere creations are something that everyone would love to receive. Lucy is known for her gorgeous designs, so if you have a fashion lover that is always cold, this stunning scarf should definitely be on your list.

Oscar Graves Solid 9ct Gold Mini Marquise - €99

Whether it's your best friend, mum or sister, look into Oscar Graves jewellery. The brand, created by a local Dublin 12 lad, uses classic simplicity and is just divine for someone who loves delicate and unique pieces.
