September 4th 2007, Dublin Ireland: Eirtakon, the Republic of Ireland's premier anime event, has announced two more traders who will be bringing an extensive collection of clothes and goods for sale to the convention.

First up we have Magnifique Lolita, one of the world's finest Lolita clothing companies. Magnifique Lolita is based in Germany and is making its first trip to Eirtakon. Magnifique Lolita has a varied range of unique high quality Gothic and Lolita clothing and accessories which are sold both through their multi-language website and at various shows and conventions around Europe. This unique company's presence at Eirtakon will be a treat for all Irish Gothic and Lolita fans, given the rarity of similar items in Irish stores. More information can be found here.
