The renowned womenswear brand, Jigsaw, has significantly expanded its footprint in Ireland through a strategic partnership with the distinguished department store chain, Brown Thomas. This initiative allows Jigsaw to present its collection both in-store at the Limerick and Blanchardstown branches, as well as online via Brown Thomas’s e-commerce platform.
This expansion is a continuation of Jigsaw’s efforts to grow its presence in the Irish market, building on the brand’s existing concession in Dublin’s Arnotts department store and its standalone store near Grafton Street, a prime retail location in Dublin’s city centre.
Vikky Baker, Jigsaw’s head of retail, expressed her enthusiasm for the venture, stating that the partnership with Brown Thomas is in perfect alignment with Jigsaw’s unique offerings. She highlighted Brown Thomas as a key partner due to its esteemed reputation for delivering premium shopping experiences, which complements Jigsaw’s commitment to excellence.
Within Jigsaw, there have been notable developments in its leadership team. In March 2024, Julia Reimann was promoted to design director from her previous role as head of wovens designer, following the departure of the former creative director, Jo Sykes, in late 2023. Additionally, Louise Long advanced to buying director from head of product development, and Vicki Williams was elevated to people and culture director from her role as head of people and culture.
The collaboration with Brown Thomas underscores both entities’ dedication to quality, with Jigsaw aiming to leverage Brown Thomas’s established market position to enhance its own brand recognition and consumer reach across Ireland.
Jigsaw’s alliance with Brown Thomas marks a pivotal step in cementing its presence in the Irish fashion market.
