Summer is around the corner with brighter days ahead and it’s the perfect time to spruce things up from your home to your wardrobe. The Kilkenny Design Sale has everything shoppers need to help prep for a busy summer ahead with up to 50% off across Homeware, Beauty and Wellness, Jewellery, Clothing and Accessories, and more.  

The sale launches Thurs 21st April and runs until 2nd May in Kilkenny Design’s 17 stores nationwide and online at www.kilkennyshop.com. As the home of Irish design and featuring a large selection of local makers, supporting locals has never been easier. 

With wedding season upon us and social gatherings aplenty in the months ahead, the Kilkenny Design Sale is the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a wardrobe refresh and get the occasion ready with a touch of sparkle in the form of the latest jewellery trends.  

Staple pieces that will help you transition from day to night are key. Offers across accessories include up to 30% OFF selected handbags including Guess and Orla Kiely, while customers at Kilkenny Design can also enjoy up to 30% OFF clothing brand favourites like White Stuff, Seasalt, Eva Kayan and InWear.  

Speaking about the latest trends in jewellery, Una Heelan, Jewellery Buyer at Kilkenny Design says “This spring/summer season, we’re seeing a return to more glamourous accessories with excitement building for upcoming occasions. Layering is a trend that won’t be going away any time soon. While stacking pendant necklaces is still a favourite, layering earrings to amplify show-stopping sparkle is the call of the day for the perfect summer selfie. The ‘huggie’ hoop earring is a big trend this season across our Absolute Jewellery, Pilgrim & Ania Haie ranges, with crawler, stud and half hoop earrings all popular too. Statement pops of colour and opals are perfect for holidays at home and abroad with bright azure blue palettes aplenty.” 

When it comes to gifting, meaningful jewellery pieces will always be in fashion. From birthdays to bridesmaid gifts, choose a piece they’ll treasure forever. From 25th April for a limited time only, Enibas and Alan Ardiff will be 10% OFF in the Kilkenny Design Sale.  

As we step from spring into summer, breathing a new lease of life into the home will refresh the mind after the long winter months. Investing in fresh, stylish homeware pieces that are versatile to enjoy indoors and outdoors is key for the season ahead.  

Laura Pasquetti, Homeware Buyer at Kilkenny Design, says “Over the last two years, homes across the country were infused with a passion for home-dining and similarly, many embraced a love for gardening and maximising outdoor living space. This summer, we will really see this come to fruition as we can now enjoy social gatherings at home with extended family and circle of friends. Celebrating occasions at home after many missed birthdays and milestones will allow us to make new memories and look ahead.” 

Top offers in the Kilkenny Design Sale across homewares include 15% OFF Foxford and McNutt of Donegal throws, up to 20% OFF selected Irish Art, 15% OFF Nicholas Mosse Pottery, 15% OFF Waterford and more
