Tommy Hilfiger
tommy hilfiger ‘Traditional with a twist’ is how Tommy Hilfiger describes his own fashions, and he’s right, if the twist is designing clothes that are as appealing to a yummy mummy as to a rapper. The American designer cut the ribbon on this elegant store on Dublin’s most prestigious shopping street in late 2008.

5 Scarlet Row
Beautiful, modern, exclusive, minimalist. If that’s what you’re after try the creations of Eley Kishimoto, Zero, Irish designer Sharon Wauchob or menswear label Unis. Owner Eileen Shields worked with Donna Karan in New York before founding her own gorgeous shoe label that retails here.

Cleo
Home-knits and hand-weaves from all over the country (including a fine selection of Aran sweaters) make up the bulk of this shop’s collection. The patterns are all very Irish – some more than others; there are sweaters with replicas of Celtic stones and other ancient patterns.

Flip
This hip Irish label takes the best male fashion moods of the 1950s and serves them back to us, minus the mothball smell. US college shirts, logo T-shirts, Oriental and Hawaiian shirts, Fonz-style leather jackets and well-cut jeans mix it with the genuine secondhand gear upstairs.
