Clothing store in Galway

General.Tee

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone could recommend some popular independent clothing stores in Galway City? Preferable ones that sell casual clothing to men and women in their 20's! Something new and would be quite hip at the moment would be perfect.

Not your usual, H&M, Topman but something owner operated.

You could check out Born in Newtownsmith but I'm not sure it fits the description of 'hip'.

Or for totally the opposite definition of "hip", Kem Bali is just up the road. Definitely owner operated.

More hippy than hip.

Think the OP was looking for something hip, as in cool or on trend, not a hip replacement.

From Galway to a more serious forum.

Ye - not sure any of these suggestions were the type of store I was looking for! Thanks for the suggestions though.

Was definitely looking for hip, as in cool or on trend, not a hip replacement!!

BTs have some pretty cool stuff at the moment.

New Look also..but you said you didn't want somewhere like Topshop? Topshop are very on trend but you've ruled them out?

Born have some nice things that are certainly on trend.

You could try Mexx, which also has French Connection...?

There aren't really any trendy boutiques that I can think of in Galway. What about Don't call me Dear, which is second hand...near Mill St. Garda Stn? It's kind of high quality clothing as opposed to flea market stuff!

There's a REALLY nice boutique in Salthill...I've only ever passed the window but their stuff is fab...it's beside O'Connors bakery.

If you ventured to some larger towns that haven't yet become clones of the British high street, you might find more boutique-y type places that you are looking for.

Or you could always try All Saints online as their stuff is very cool. They also have an outlet in the Kildare Village.

Edit: I've seen your other posts and its obviously a market research/competition type question so no point giving suggestions really.

Hi Ben,

Yes it would be a market research type question. I am currently looking for shops in the Galway area that are independently owned and as I am not from the area I was looking for some advise!

I see no point to your comment! Is this not a place where one can go for advise? I didnt think it was too much to ask for the names of some popular shops in the area but thanks for the help!

Galwaygirlee: Thanks for your reply, appreciate it. Will look into a few of the names you have suggested.

Ye I wasnt looking for a big brand clothing store. More of an Independent shop that sold various brands. Not to worry though,

@General.Tee - are you asking this question because you want to find a shop to shop in, or because you want to assess potential competitors?

In general Boards posters do not like being used, so a bit of honesty would be good here.

Its not to assess potential competitors no, I am actually looking for Irish owned clothing shops to sell my products in.

Thought this would be a good place to get some feedback of shops in the city before I travelled down. Didn't think it would be that much of an issue.

Why not just say that then in your first post, rather than asking about where one could buy clothes? Deliberately misleading.
