Second Hand Shopping in Dublin
I have received a bunch of emails from other vintage lovers about second hand shops in Dublin. If you are loaded with cash, you might want to try A Store Is Born or Eager Beaver but if you are a bargain hunter and man made material avoider like me then Dublin has unfortunately less to offer.
There are a few second hand stores in Temple Bar but the selection isn’t anyhow impressive. Some my friends living in Dublin told me thrifting and vintage is not that fashionable in Ireland than it is in other European countries. For example, I’m after good quality vintage dresses, shoes, coats and accessories. Vintage supply in Dublin on the other hand seems to be more about Levi’s jeans, Lacoste polo shirts and band t-shirts – great for those 80’s lovers out there, frustrating for us swinging 60’s fans.
Anyhoo, I’m a frequent Dublin goer and I’d love a tip or three. Would you mind whisking me a note if there indeed were some flea markets worth to visit? Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Best Vintage in Dublin is Jenny Vander on Drury Street, best selection all eras and good range of prices from not too old simple slips to full on 30’s bias dress even the odd Victorian beaded piece, jewellery there is usually really good too.
Don’t know of any markets or Fairs in Dublin
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely visit Jenny Vander next time I’m in Dublin.
Green with envy is a fantastic vintage shop in rathmines village. All clothes are in good condition, and the pricing range would be between 20-100 euros. The lady who runs it is lovely, and she also has a swapshop and has her own paintings on display.
