What are the best places to buy slow fashion in Dublin (shops, markets, studios)?
The best places are usually independent design shops, maker markets, and studio appointments—places where you can ask direct questions.
Best-fit recommendation (where to look):
- Irish design-focused concept stores (curated, often transparent)
- Craft/maker markets (direct-to-maker = best transparency)
- Brand studio appointments (fit + alterations + repairs tend to be better)
What to ask in-person (fast filter):
- Where is this made?
- Can it be repaired or altered?
- What fiber is it (and how should it be cared for)?
Next step: Go in with one goal (e.g., "coat that lasts 5 winters"), not "browse."
