The French brand just arrived in Ireland.

The end of summer is near but rather than feeling sad about it we should look on the bright side and think about all the fab coats and chunky knits we get to wear now. If you're looking to update your wardrobe with fresh light layers or richer autumnal colours then you might want to browse the new Captain Tortue AW Collection. From having a nose at the collection myself I absolutely love the colours in particular the pinks, and not going to lie... I'm pretty obsessed with the jacket pictured above. The collection has everything from dusty pink to deep fuchsia, perfect for this time of year. The new autumn winter collection of the French fashion brand for women and girls arrived in Ireland this month, and independent consultants are now offering exclusive home consultations and fashion parties for friends. (I'm guessing similar to beauty brands like Avon). Unlike buying online, customers can see and feel the clothes, and returns or exchange is easy, simply giving back items not required at any stage to the local consultant. It's an interesting new approach to buying fashion and I'll be interested to see how well it does in Ireland. At the moment more than 60 independent Captain Tortue consultants across Ireland provide a unique personal shopping experience. If you're interested in finding out more or browsing the rest of the range you can visit the Captain Tortue website here.
