Brown Thomas & Company Limited is a chain of five upmarket department stores in Ireland, with two located in Dublin, and one each in Cork, Galway, and Limerick.

Ewart subsequently failed, as the deal could not be financed, allowing Brown Thomas to make a second bid in November 1990, which was accepted.

The Brown Thomas Group sold A Wear for €70m to a management buyout (MBO) team, which was backed by UK private equity firm Alchemy Partners.

[11] In October 2024, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) acquired Signa Holding's 40% stake in the Selfridges Group.

As a result, Central Group now holds 60%, while PIF owns 40%, making them joint owners of Brown Thomas today.

It includes boutiques for Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Gucci, Arami, Balenciaga, Prada, Armani, Jo Malone, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Burberry, Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Coach, Michael Kors, Ted Baker.

Ralph Lauren, Gant, Hugo Boss, Paul Smith, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada are some of the brands that can be found in the new men's basement area.

These stores have more mass-market clothes aimed at the 18-35 market, such as Victoria Beckham, Acne Studios, Helmut Lang and COS. BT2 also sells a wide range of cosmetics.
