Arnotts to introduce John Lewis own brand home products for the first time in Ireland
John Lewis has taken a further step in its international expansion plans by agreeing a deal to introduce John Lewis own brand homeware products to Irish department store Arnotts this autumn.
The agreement with John Lewis marks the first major new brand initiative for Arnotts since the business was acquired by the Selfridges Group in November 2015.
The new range, which will form part of Arnotts existing and extensive homeware offering, will comprise a selection of products across bed, bath, cook and dine, furniture and lighting products. The collection will also be available on arnotts.ie.
The range will launch in store on 6 October.
Christine Kasoulis, home buying director at John Lewis, said: “We’re really pleased to be debuting John Lewis own brand Home and lifestyle products within Arnotts department store in Ireland. This is a great opportunity to bring the John Lewis Home assortment to our existing customer base in Ireland as well as new customers who are looking for great quality and inspiring products for their home.”
Arnotts is Ireland’s largest department store and employs approximately 570 people with an additional 600 people working in concession partners.
Donald McDonald, managing director, Arnotts, said: “We’re delighted to introduce John Lewis own brand Home products to our customers. The new range will enhance Arnotts existing position as the largest and only full line department store in Ireland. We look forward to introducing other exciting new brands to Arnotts over the coming months.”
