We’ve always believed the best pieces are the ones that combine function with beauty. Objects you use every day, but still feel quietly special. Our latest bag arrivals from Italy do exactly that. Crafted from soft Italian leather, they have a refined simplicity, clean lines and an easy neutral patina that will only get better with time. From shoulder bags to crossbody styles, these are everyday essentials designed to work hard while sitting beautifully alongside your own wardrobe and identity. Available online now, or pop out to see them in person. We’re open Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm. #placeevolution #leatherbags #independentshop #slowshopping #accessories

Marie and I dreaming of sunshine holidays and what we might wear ? Chatting here through some of our favourite new pieces from the high summer collection by Greek designer Milla. We love their timeless simplicity, lightweight fabrics and easy, relaxed fit. These are the kind of pieces that make summer dressing feel effortless. Beautiful worn on their own, but also so easy to mix, match and pack neatly into a small suitcase for whatever adventures you have planned. We find them true to size, but as always, message us if you have any questions. You can have a look online at place.ie or even better, pop by and try them on for yourself. We’re here Thursday to Saturday, 10 to 6 🧡 #highsummerstyle #summerwardrobe #slowfashionireland #whattowear #placeevolution

Feminine, fun and full of movement. Georgia has just gone live online at place.ie, or come and try her on for yourself in the barn.

If being outside all day in a summery meadow, beside an ancient woodland, learning about local building & making practises, listening to pioneering work around communications, modelling & memory and eating delicious food sound good to you - come to BUILD SCHOOL. Ticket link in bio Forerunner x SOWN are hosting a weekend of artist-led workshops & talks over the first weekend in June to celebrate the next lifecycle of YOUNGFOSSIL. YOUNGFOSSIL is an experimental building which began its life in 2021 as a series of seating structures in the gardens of IMMA.

I am meant to be showing you this beautiful new linen top and trousers from Milla. And I am. But I also got a little distracted by the skyscape. The changing light, the landscape reflected in the studio window, the trees, the grey clouds, the energy . Sometimes nature quietly steals the scene and you just have to stand aside and let it! This soft black linen suit, easy, natural and understated. Made for wearing, moving, pausing, noticing. Now in store and online at PLACE. #changinglight #reflections #linensuit #skyscape #ruralwexford

Some of you have been curious about the small structure sitting quietly in the landscape, nestled in the meadow between the woodland and the barn. Introducing YOUNG FOSSIL, an experimental building by the art collective Forerunner, @forerunner_studio , made up of artists Tom Watt, Tanad Aaron and Andreas Kindler von Knobloch, pictured above. It began its life in 2021 in the gardens of IMMA, before finding its permanent home here in Ballyfad in 2023. Now, with the support of The Arts Council and Wexford County Council Arts Office, YOUNG FOSSIL is beginning its next life as our very first studio space for residencies, workshops and creative gatherings. This is also the first visible sign of SOWN, a wider project we’ve been slowly growing here in Ballyfad. A place for creativity, community, land, making, gathering and connection. To celebrate this evolution, we are so excited to invite you to be part of the next stage through BUILD SCHOOL, a two-day festival of workshops, talks, making and shared learning around local building practices, natural materials and collective spaces, co-produced by Katie and Juliana here at PLACE/SOWN. Across the weekend there will be lime, wild clay, artist talks, food by Cow House Studios, and the chance to leave your own mark on this work-in-progress as YOUNG FOSSIL becomes a studio in the meadow. With contributions from Edward Byrne of The Traditional Lime Company, Adrian Duncan, E Williams and Colm O’Neill, alongside Forerunner. It will be slow, thoughtful, hands-on and small in numbers, very much in the spirit of Ballyfad. 📅 Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June, 2026 📍 SOWN, Ballyfad, Y25 T9N4 On the Wexford/Wicklow border, beside a 200-acre ancient woodland. 🎟️ For the full weekend schedule, further information and tickets, please see the link in our bio.
