Dully reflects on Walker & Hunt clothing brand milestones

Athlone entrepreneur Luke Dully has reflected on the growth of his Walker & Hunt clothing brand as the business celebrates its seventh anniversary.

In a social media post, the business owner spoke of two significant milestones achieved by the Walker & Hunt brand in 2026.

At the start of the year, his clothing range was launched online with major US retail chain, Nordstrom, with items from his fashion brand also due to be made available for purchase online from the iconic Macy's, one of the largest retailers in North America.

A native of Coolevin Park in Coosan, Dully, who is the son of Edel Garavan and Padraig 'Dutchy' Dully, founded the Walker & Hunt fashion brand in 2019, a 'classical and timeless fashion range for the contemporary gentleman expanding with each seasonal collection'.

His clothing has been worn by prominent F1 driver Lando Norris who was spotted in a number of fashion items from the Walker & Hunt collection at grand prix race meetings in 2025.

Reflecting on his brand's journey to date, Dully said it had taken him a "few more years" than he expected "to get to this point".

"This year we launched with Nordstrom and are now preparing to launch with Macys, milestones I once only dreamed about," Dully stated.

Expressing his gratitude to every customer, friend and family member who has "supported the journey over the years" and to "those who helped us along the way, but are no longer with us", Dully said he hoped that this will "one day make for a good story".

"Here's to the next chapter," Dully concluded.
