Indigo & Cloth

One for the boys, this Temple Bar men’s boutique is incredibly stylish. Their sparse upper level is full of well-made, contemporary menswear items by international brands like Schnaydermans – a shirtmaker out of Stockholm and New York – as well as pieces made closer to home, like bags and blanket coats by Galway’s own The Tweed Project. Footwear is also available here, by labels like Saturdays NYC, and they stock some gorgeous men’s grooming and skincare items.

Scout

This Temple Bar store used to be one of Dublin’s best-kept secrets, but has long been discovered by fashion insiders. Found at the bottom of Essex Street West near the lovely Cow’s Lane, Scout is owned by a woman with impeccable taste. Wendy Crawford chooses pieces by the coolest Irish and international labels – here you will find respected names like Petria Lenehan, Electronic Sheep and You Must Create (YMC), as well as beautiful homewares and lifestyle items. This store also has some lovely footwear and does great sales.

Carousel

Based in Dublin since 2001, the people behind the vintage-inspired Carousel boutique have become known for their high-quality, vibrant vintage-style clothing, even producing their own ethically made range called ‘Circus.’ This reputation has allowed them to add a well-stocked online shop to their repertoire, but fans of this spot still love to browse the rails inside the physical store, which is lovingly decorated, packed with pattern and a joy to visit. Designed to suit all body shapes, their feel-good items are definitely worth investing in.

& Other Stories

If independent boutiques aren’t really your thing, then you’ll be excited to hear about the impending arrival of another high-street giant to Grafton Street. Though it hasn’t even happened yet, the opening of trendy Swedish fashion brand & Other Stories in Dublin is already one of the year’s biggest retail events. Fashion bloggers flocked to social media to rejoice when the chain’s first Irish store was officially announced in February, and work on the space at 26-27 Grafton Street is now well underway. The outlet is due to open this Autumn, no doubt to a very warm reception.
