The Kate flapover backpack in pink is calling our name, down to €27.50 from its original price of €55.

It's hard to wrap your head around, but when Keilidh Cashell's KASH Beauty landed in Brown Thomas in 2022, it became the first Irish-owned cosmetics brand to ever grace the department store.
Clearly, the bar to entry was high. If any influencer brand was going to make it, it was KASH.
Since the brand's inception in 2019, Cashell's line has produced hit after hit, and their latest launch, a foundation and concealer, has proven no different.
The star-ingredient in both is the patent-pending Rejuvelac-Quinoa, new to the EU market, via Korea.
A light-weight, crease-resistant formula priced at a very reasonable €32 for the foundation and €20 for the concealer, we'll call it another win.
