Actuelle means the 'present time' in French. The French company specialises in mid-range women's fashion and its products have been available for a few seasons on the Irish market. Actuelle meets its customers' needs by presenting chic and casual collections for the working woman.

Aggabarti
Aggabarti's garments are inspired by ancient Greece, embroideries from Seville, Ibizan rochet dresses, and the feminine patterns of Italy. Its ladies' fashion wear is distributed in 300 multi-brand shops in France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain.

Akela Key
Akela Key has created an original, contemporary and unique collection. The company's creative clothing fits any type of body shape and has been developed in a wide range of sizes. The company distributes its products within Europe, North America and Australia.

Et compagnie
Et compagnie's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection is imbued with icy, luminous shades and is a mix of deep browns and crystal greys. The company was launched for Autumn/Winter 2006 and it now has two sister brands: R876, which supplies the medium to high-end fashion market, and So Soon, which uses natural fabrics in creating its original womenswear.
