Ted Baker operates concessions in Arnotts and Brown Thomas outlets in Ireland, along with two standalone stores in Dublin and Kildare.

Fashion chain Ted Baker said sales were rebounding as office and party wear become popular again after the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, but signalled the pace of recovery was still uncertain.

Ted Baker and other clothing retailers are navigating a bumpy road back to normal as demand for office and party wear grows again, but anaemic levels of tourism in places such as London had hurt store footfall.
