5 shops for vintage shopping in Dublin

Don’t expect any rhinestone cowboys but do expect an array of unique vintage rings, necklaces and accessories ranging from simplistic minimalism to sparkling and bejewelled. There’s jewellery of all shapes, sizes and prices, both antique and modern, from wedding rings to beautiful gifts for any other occasion.

This is a very trendy place, full of throwback gear from the recent past, like bomber jackets, Adidas jackets, shirts, dungarees, jumpsuits and lots lots more. The prices are great here and it’s a nice friendly spot for a casual dig to see what vintage goodies you can unearth.

Look out for the brick-arched storefront. Siopaella sells secondhand high-street goods rather than straightforward vintage pieces, but they have some of those too. It classifies itself as Ireland’s largest designer exchange store – a buy-and-sell essentially – with a bit of everything, from Bailey hats to Valentino.

Long live Dublin’s vintage shops. They come and go but fingers crossed that this one will stay put in its present location. Quite big and packed with colourful clothes, it’s a great place to shop. Everything is priced between 2 and 30 euro and they’re open seven days a week.

Selling at just 20 euro a kilo, this fantastic looking shop is vintage heaven. Prices are excellent and you’ll find a number of big name items here, from Abercrombie and Ralph Lauren shirts to DKNY tops and 80s throwback sweaters.
