Seasalt Cornwall to open new shop in Westport
CORNISH clothing brand Seasalt will open its second shop in Ireland on Saturday, June 18, with a new 240 square foot store in Westport, creating eight new jobs in the town.
Following the success of its first Irish store in Clonakilty, which opened in June 2019, Seasalt was drawn to Westport’s vibrant character, stunning coastline and relaxed way of life.
Inspired by Cornwall's wild landscape and vibrant artistic culture, Seasalt's team of in-house designers and artists design all collections from their studios overlooking Falmouth Bay. The brand has a natural affinity with the creative lifestyle found on the west of Ireland coast.
Seasalt prides itself on creating clothing and accessories that are made to last, crafting timeless styles from durable natural fabrics like GOTS-certified organic cotton, merino wool, bamboo-derived viscose and linen. Inclusivity is incredibly important to the brand, and their clothing range offers a diverse choice of fits, including plus, tall and petite.
With its distinctive mix of artistic prints and Cornish-inspired colours, Seasalt is excited to bring stylish womenswear, unique accessories, comfortable footwear and a new menswear collection to the shoppers of Westport.
The new store - on Bridge Street - is set to deliver a memorable experience to customers at every point of their shopping journey, supported by enhanced and seamless technology. The shop provides opportunities to host workshops and brand experiences and is a usable space for local community and customer events.
The shop fit in Westport represents next generation retail design for Seasalt, taking a tangible step forward with its sustainable credentials and reducing its carbon footprint.
Committed to putting actions behind words, the new Westport store uses UK-sourced materials to create versatile furniture and fittings that can be moved, reused and repurposed. All fixtures and fittings have been chosen for their sustainable features and with longevity and flexibility in mind.
There will be lots of treats and giveaways on Saturday for the opening, including live entertainment, complimentary fashion portraits for customers, and gift bags for the first 20 people in the queue. Keep an eye out for updates on Seasalt’s social media channels.
