Lollipops23

was just on a-wears website and their prices seem to have gone through the roof!!!seriously, the blouses are like 80 quid, trousers are 120 and coats 250!!considering i got a gorgeous dress there last year for 40euro(full price)it seems like a bit of a jump?!is it just the stuff on the site that's so expensive does anyone know?

thats a special range that they have designed by Peter O Brien, its limited edition, the normal price clothes are still there though. Would be lost without Awear, but must say there webpage is crap

Yes that's the lovely Peter O Brien collection.

I wish Awear had a proper website.

I believe there is talk of a better website, but I don't know when. Such a pity

A wear have become more expensive since Brown Thomas sold it off. The Peter O Brien collection is the expensive stuff on the website-its gorgeous though!

There should be a revamp of the website soon with the opening of the online shop! The whole brand is going for a new image, so expect gradual changes!

The Peter O'Brien stuff is gorgeous, I wish I had the money for the side-buttoned coat. :mad:

The normal A-Wear stuff has gone way up in price though, the clothes have deteriorated and the sizes have gotten bigger. Check out their mannequins, the clothes are pinned at the back. It's not just me who has given up now that the 8 is a 10.

Lots of shops do that though. Looking forward to the revamped Awear.

Yeah even the prices for their standard work clothes have gone up, aparently the new H&M on south king st have loads of boring work clothes in Will be changing to them for my basic work items if they work out cheaper than awear.

A Wear are launching themselves in London at the mo, as there are presently only two shops in britain, they are launching a hugh new one and are hoping to update the website accordinly now that they will have a bigger market.

The new online store is up and running tonight. Looks like a pretty sparse collection right now but hopefully it'll get better.

I was underwhelmed but maybe it's just the form I'm in.

The plan is to make the whole collection available, not sure when, think they are testing the waters first to see how it takes off. Be handy for people outside of Dublin as the other counties dont tend to get as many colours or stock certain items.

That's the new site..not much on it tho, had my eyes on a handbag but it aint there...

Loladub mentioned how Awear got more expensive since BTs sold it off, but didnt that happen ages ago? Awear in galway separated from BTs (location and ownership so i thought) about 10 years ago if not more? i'm possibly wrong, but would like to know
