Orla Kiely has delivered double-digit rises in profit and sales in its full year results.
Pre-tax profits at the fashion retailer were up 66% compared to last year while sales soared by 42%.
Sales were driven by product revenue of £3.3m, up from £2.1m last year, of which the majority comprises its ecommerce business, according to the business.
The launch of the company’s new website and an extension of its homewares range also led to ecommerce growth.
Orla Kiely said it experienced an exceptionally strong Black Friday weekend, with conversion rates achieved over 3.8% and year to date sales some 26% higher than in 2022.
The business claimed it was in an excellent position for future growth and investment, with a cash balance of almost £2m.
