Desire Lines: New Lennon x Courtney, fashionable glasses in the frame
Some of what we're loving this weekend
Now seems the perfect time to include the new Lennon Courtney X Kilkenny Design SS24 collection which embraces the essence of Ostara — a pagan goddess who symbolises the arrival of spring’s warmth and sunlight.
Designed to capture sky and sea as well as balance, rebirth, and renewal, Sonya Lennon and Brendan Courtney have designed a range of clothing, accessories, and homewares in vibrant green and blue shades as well as in champagne, sand, cream, and warm ‘picante’.
The clothing range includes key pieces such as the Full Moon fit-and-flare dress, the Celestial dress in blue jersey, and the reversible Chameleon coat.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Natasha Sherling’s stunning range of engagement and wedding rings and beautiful bridal jewellery springs to mind.
As well as her range of ready-to-wear jewellery, Sherling also offers a bespoke service with each appointment tailored to the couples’ needs.
Clients can visit her office in Dublin or get the ball rolling with a video call where style and budget can be discussed.
She has plenty of samples to try on and diamonds to play with before drawing up ideas for approval.
Clients come to Sherling for classic, clean jewellery styles made to an impeccable standard — from ever-popular ovals to hard-to-source asscher cuts.
Her range of wedding rings follow the same timeless aesthetic. Beautiful pieces to be loved for a lifetime.
We’ve had our eye on Rachel Murray Eyecare for quite some time for Murray’s wonderful selection of glasses by international brands such as Rapp, Theo, and Lindberg.
The Sligo business recently won the award for Best Fashion Practice in Britain’s acclaimed Opticians Awards where judges commented on Murray’s ‘superb customer care’ and ‘beautifully set-out practice’ as well as her ‘minimalistic approach which embodies an understanding of luxury retailing’.
With careful edits from each of the collections she stocks, Murray’s is a great place to discover unique glasses styles as well as excellent eye care. Frames (pictured) by Anne et Valentin start at €320.
Last month, Waterford brand Sully and Juno were awarded the Best Newcomer Award in the inaugural LEO Business of Craft Awards at the Showcase trade fair in Dublin’s RDS.
Founders Gillian Duggan White and Nina Shelton create colourful clothing and accessories that keep the sensory needs of the wearer in mind.
Each item on their website has a sensory profile to help make shopping that little bit easier and many products have tear-away tags so you can get rid of those pesky scratchy tags too.
Their hero product is their rainbow sweater — a soft striped sweatshirt that can be personalised — and we also love their cheery Tá áthas an domhain orm! design too.
Calling all Lego lovers — Bricktionary: The Interactive LEGO® BRICK Exhibition is coming to Dublin this March.
