I enjoyed shopping at Lowry's Sweater and Gift Shop. They had the most beautiful sweaters, scarfs…read moreand hats along with all of the typical tourist type merchandise. Their prices were fair and the selection was very good. I was looking for a shirt for my grandson. I picked out a couple of shirts but was worried about the fit because he is tall for his age. I told the young sales assistant my concerns and desire to find a toddler size 5 slim and long shirt. She led me to exactly what I was looking for. After many trips into different gift shops I finally had what I wanted. The shirt fit my grandson perfectly and I am extremely grateful for her help. We received this type of service throughout the store making all of our purchases special and our shopping experience exceptional.

When looking in the city for some crochet materials, I stumbled across this little shop. Here, in…read moreaddition to the knit clothing that they're more known for, I found some fairly inexpensive 100% wool yarn (€5 for 50g, €10 for 100g skeins). I gladly bought two 50g skeins of two of the beautiful color options and a wooden crochet hook. When I run out of yarn while still in Galway I know where to go back to!

The marketing at other chain stores is much better- but the quality at this store is second to none. The store is less than interesting when you walk in, but once you look at the quality and craftsmanship of the sweaters, you quickly realize how genuinely amazing. These sweaters are better than any I've found in years of hunting. The labels state which craftsman knit the sweater and Anne (the owner) will gladly recount stories of each family and knitter. Anne values the history and integrity of each piece and this was of the utmost importance to me. She was willing to have custom pieces made to order as well, which might be valuable to some. I truly think this spot is the best in Ireland.

Love this store! Real Irish wool products labeled and certified. I actually bought a few items,…read morewent across to their sister store across the way called Weavers of Ireland to purchase a beautiful coat received a coupon, and made my way back to Aran for more items : D lol This particular store was 2 floors and had everything from wool scarves, hats, women's clothing, men's clothing, kids clothing, and blankets! You'll find various forms of wool, blends, cashmere... make sure to ask an employee for more information. I ended up purchasing real Irish wool scarves (slightly itchy), softest wool scarf, and a wool sheep toy. The items smelled like a farm lol, but the best way to discard the smell was to air them out. After purchase , you're given specific instructions on how to care for your Irish wool products. Note: Get a tax refund at the airport, with any purchase of 75 Euros or more at a merchant store. Ask for the refund document from the cashier.

By far the best quality and value!…read more I brought my American friends to Standun's last month and was really impressed by the quality and great selection of clothing and gifts. I always thought this store was expensive and only for tourists, but that's far from the truth. My friends bought lots of sweaters and Waterford crystal and posted it all home for free. The prices are much lower than other stores that only cater for tourists. Well worth a visit !

The owner was a great help and very patient with all the different boots I tried on. He even brought up choices not yet on display to ensure I got the right fit. Had I not found this store my trip in Ireland would have been quite different. The Columbia boots I ended up getting saw me through great hikes throughout Connemara which were some of my favorite memories while there. There is also a great selection of a wide variety of outdoor sporting activity supplies. Highly recommend!
