For those of you that haven't heard of it - where have you been?! (Joking!)
Dubarry is one of the largest current 'lifestyle' brands to hit the market. Established in 1937 in Ireland it began as a co-operative to provide work for the local men and women, taking its name from the famous french courtesan Madame du Barry.
"Dubarry’s reputation as one of Ireland’s most respected and successful companies was born out of the workforce’s deep-rooted pride and ambition to produce footwear of the very highest quality." www.dubarryboots.com
What started as a small company producing good quality shoes and boots for the local population and drawing on the expertise of the local craftsmen is now a booming lifestyle enterprise offering stylish and practical clothing and footwear for men and women.
"Inspired by our home on the rugged west coast of Ireland, we have created a range of clothing and accessories that perfectly complement our footwear, so you can be appropriately kitted out from toe to head at the races, in the field, in the mountains, indeed anywhere you want to be dry and stylish." www.dubarryboots.com
