The store will also stock a collection of throws and soft goods hand woven in their County Wicklow mill.

The brand’s signature tree can be found at the heart of the store, decorated with beautiful wisteria flowers. Outside, a premium Parisian food hut takes centre stage providing shoppers with convenient, delicious lunches and snacks such as coffee, soups, sandwiches, toasties and Avoca’s signature sweet treats.
