Guide to Ireland's Heritage online

From designer labels to second hand finds, you'll find it all in Dublin. Grafton Street is home to the famous Brown Thomas store, which stocks an extensive range of designer labels. At the top of Grafton Street you'll find the St. Stephen's Green centre which is packed with shops, cafes and things to do. Off Grafton Street is the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse, now full of quirky and interesting shops. A pianist plays regularly.

North of the river is Henry Street and the Jervis and Ilac centres. The Jervis centre is a new complex located on Jervis Street, near Henry Street, and is bright, clean and a joy to shop in! Arnotts department store is also situated nearby. Nestling between the two main shopping streets is Temple Bar, with its many second hand and specialist shops.

If you want to buy Irish crafts, visit the House of Ireland, on Nassau Street, which stocks a fantastic selection of Irish glassware, china, clothing and linens. For contemporary Irish crafts, visit Kilkenny Design which is also located on Nassau Street. One of Irelands most famous ceramists, Louis Mulcachy, has a shop selling his ceramics at 17, Kildare Street.
