Elegant Times: A Dublin Story
The story of these great stores (Switzers and Brown Thomas) has always been that of dynamic changes being undertaken in a relentless quest for excellence and elegance.
In a fascinating and highly entertaining history, this book charts the growth of the two stores from their humble beginnings to their emergence as the household names which we know today. Since their foundation in the mid-19th century, Brown Thomas and Switzers have had to constantly adapt to changing social conditions. In many respects their history mirrors the history of Dublin itself, and is essential reading for anyone who loves our great capital.
