Suggest a location with a few nice boutiques

Henrib

Hi all,

I've a few family weddings coming up (close family) and am going to go for a night away with a friend looking for outfits. Someone has suggested Wexford for boutiques or up North Newry or Cookstown.
Anywhere with a few nice independent shops and an excuse for a road trip!

Any suggestions? TIA

A trip to Gorey could be worthwhile. Some very nice shops to browse.
I like https://www.rubyrouge.ie/
Liz Collins is a small shop with a huge selection of gorgeous one off dresses. Prices are good too.
https://lizcollinsboutique.com/

La Creme is popular but more suitable for Mother of the Bride
https://lacremeboutique.com/

There are good spots for accessories too.

Athlone?
Stay in Sheraton, have a couple of treatments in the spa, shopping centre and decent boutiques, drinks in Sean's, dinner in any number of places, boat trip on the Shannon, leave car at home and take the train.
Bliss!

Naas has nice boutiques and you could stay somewhere nice like the Kilashee Hotel.
Kilkenny also has a lot of nice boutiques.

You will also have newbridge nearby too which has high street shops and vanity fair boutique which is very popular.

Supposedly Ennis in Co Clare is the Boutique capital of Ireland.

The town has more ladies clothes shops than any other town in the Republic.

Cornucopia is quite popular amongst a lot more.

Clare is a beautiful county... Plenty of accommodation, you've anything from 5* to eir b and b

Sold lol

Another vote for Ennis - The County Boutique, Chez Marie, Willow, Freya, Breda's, Cornucopia etc plus Nozomi if you want fabulous (and expensive) shoes and Glitzi Bitz if you want fabulous (and very affordable) fascinators, evening bags and costume jewellery. In the Tesco shopping centre there's a boutique called G9 which is also worth a look.
There's several other independent boutiques whose names don't come to mind right now, plus a Pamela Scott store and a ShoeRack.

I'd have to agree with Ennis. I'm from there but live in Dublin. For any occasions over the past few years, I've searched all over Dublin for clothes, but end up getting them in Ennis within an hour of searching! Cornucopia, Willow and County Boutique are my go-to shops, but there are lots more too. Stay in the Old Ground hotel, lots of great restaurants and pubs around town.

If you want to go north skip Cookstown and go to "The Linen green" just outside Dungannon. Lovely little place to stop and shop and get some lunch.
