Luxury Boutiques To Visit In Dublin

Founded in the late 1990s by the three stylish Tucker sisters and their mother Billie, Costume on Dublin’s Castle Market remains a family-run boutique with an appreciation of the finer things. Stocking luxuriant labels like Isabel Marant and Rouland Mouret, this fashionista-favourite deserves its loyal following and is celebrated for their stellar customer service.

To many people, luxury shopping in Dublin means only one thing: Brown Thomas department store. The first port of call for haute couture in the city, their flagship store is the jewel in the crown of one of the city’s two main shopping streets, Grafton Street. Across four avid floors, shoppers will find individual boutiques for Armani, Balenciaga, Cartier, Hermès and Louis Vuitton, to name but a few. Brown Thomas also curate a selection of the best of independent Irish design at their annual CREATE installation: This year’s selection includes Teatum Jones and Margaret O’Connor.

This modern concept store is located in the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, a Georgian building in Dublin’s Creative Quarter that is now one of the best places to shop in the city. Outlets of French Connection and All Saints have street frontage on the building’s ground floor, but [ MADE ] occupies a bright, air-filled space on the uppermost level. Here, their carefully curated selection of pieces from Ireland’s leading contemporary designers are treated as works of art. Brands represented include Sorcha O’Raghallaigh, We Are Islanders, and the winner of this year’s Design & Crafts Council of Ireland’s Future Maker award for fashion, Edel Traynor.

Also in the Powerscourt Centre, Jennifer Rothwell’s flagship boutique will appeal to any shopper who appreciates fine fabrics and sophisticated tailoring. Born in New York but raised in Dublin, prior to establishing her own label, she worked in the US with designers like Norma Kamali and Calvin Klein. Armed with copious knowledge and a boatload of ideas, she returned to Ireland and set up on her own, winning the Brown Thomas Designer Award at Dublin Fashion Week shortly after. She now works from a local studio in the city where all her collections are produced. http://instagram.com/p/7X3CrqQcaT/?taken-by=jrothwelldesign
