A collective of artists and designers based in Ireland have got together to form a clothing and accessory design company that puts a fresh spin on T-shirt fashion. The guys at Turtlehead have brought their creative forces together to fulfill a niche in the Irish fashion market with a unique and innovative clothing alternative that offers slightly left-of-field graphic art and slightly offbeat designs on Tshirts, hoodies and accessories.

If you’re sick of the so-called ironic tees and tacky prints from high-street stores, notch up some street cred points by checking out this funky design company who describe their designs as ‘part social-commentary, part public art, part rant’. All T-shirts are limited up to 500 pieces printed in Ireland on 100% cotton. What’s more 5% of the profit is donated to a charity of your choice. So, if you’re still searching for that elusive Christmas gift for a picky boyfriend or you’re indie girlfriend, check out Turtlehead or pop down to The Loft Market in Powerscourt Centre. The prices are not so bad either considering what you may pay up for a mass-proudced Tee in your usual favourite high-street store.

With Christmas festivities in full swing Jameson and Burrell PR threw a one-of-a-kind winter party complete with Christmas food (chestnuts, mince pies and soup), music (the amazing Camemberet Quartet) and the screening of the classic Christmas flick: It’s a Wonderful Life under a marquee in Temple Bar, Metting House Square. I clicked some people dressed in their best winter-warmers.
