Littlewoods Ireland has announced it has rebranded to Very, bringing the Irish business in line with the group’s retail brand in the UK.
It said the new identity “marks the next phase” of the evolution of the Irish business, which started as a catalogue retailer in the 1980s and grew into a multi-category digital retailer, servicing more than 350,000 customers here.
Rossa Butler, managing director for Ireland at Very, said: “I’m delighted customers can access a host of new brands and convenient services to further improve their experience of shopping with us.”
The new labels include Dyson Supersonic, Estée Lauder Fragrances, Vivienne Westwood, Paul Smith and Coach, as well as Irish brands such as Sosu Cosmetics, Cocoa Brown, the Handmade Soap Company and We are Paradoxx.
