    Ah, so that's where all those snake skin tunic tops are coming from…read more In a move that's sure to enrage designers and buyers who take good quality clothing seriously, Fashion Outlet delivers their own brand of coture to the masses with incredibly cheap goods. Now, you do get what you pay for here, and most of the fabrics used for their lines of trousers, shirts and suits are of a disappointingly low quality (suffering from the dreaded Three Ms: Man Made Materials). As a silver lining, you won't pay more than €5 or €20 for most of the items on the racks. As a rule I give this shop a miss, but for ladies in the market for black work trousers good for a few months, or an acrylic sweater sure to unravel on the drive home, this is your first (and hopefully last) stop.

    I think that while reading these review you should remember that different people have different…read moretastes and different senses of fashion and different opinions on quality versus price. So very different, okay? So with that in mind let me tell you that this shop is one that i do not really frequent and one that when i have gone in i have never ever walked out with a bag in my hand, well not one from that shop anyway! Everything in here is really cheap and not very nice in my opinion. Nothing looks to be particularly well made and the materials that are used are not the type that I normally like to wear at all at all! ( I sound like someone who insists on egyptian cotton bed sheets and the like, im not, i promise!) Anyway, as i said i may be very different from you, the lovely reader, but i have given my honest opinion anyway and sure what else can i do?

    **SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF MY MOTHER**…read more My mother Barbara Coughlan died last month on July 3rd, 2024. Mam was a frequent shopper at Lisa Baker in Lucan. Mam had bipolar and had the odd bout of mania where she would spend a lot of money in one go. It's safe to say blew all of her inheritance (£100k+) when her own mother died in 1998 at Lisa Bakers. The manager of Lisa Baker attended her reposing at Cunninghams in Lucan on the 8th of July. I was told 'if I there were any tags on anything to bring them back to the shop'. I expressed my appreciation and informed her that we would give the shop a shout out in the eulogy the following day of the funeral which my brother Conor honoured. Unsurprisingly, Lisa Baker and all her staff attended the funeral and paid their condolences. I went on to tell my father, step mother and siblings about the kind gesture of bringing bag tagged items. We all agreed it was a decent gesture and entirely fair considering her support of the business over the years. On Friday, August 17th I went back to Lisa Bakers with various items with tags on. I brought my best friend with me as something in my gut was telling me they would not be happy that I was returning with 3 bags of items. I can only describe that what took place was a pincer movement of the two staff in the shop (the blonde manager and a brunette member of staff) I was immediately told that she had never said that to me. I naturally went into shock - the implication was that I was lying. I asked if they were calling me a liar and was responded to with silence and knowing looks between the two. All I heard on a loop was they could not honour the tags as the stock could be old stock and that they could never make that kind of promise to anyone as they would not have the authority. At no point in time did they ask to look in the bags or even check what I had brought with me! The straw that broke the camels back was that I was then told in a patronising tone that my mother 'wouldn't want this'. It was said in a disparaging tone implying that I was letting myself and mam down. They said they had always treated my mother with kindness and she had treated them with kindness. All I can say is that there was zero kindness shown to me. Quite the opposite. They could have easily taken me to one side and handled the situation so differently. In the end I walked off as the two colleagues were going around in circles implying I was a liar and I said they should be ashamed of themselves and they were disgusting human beings. I stand by this. In retrospect - the funeral was a PR exercise for Lisa Baker and a good chance to plug the shop. The words at the reposing were fake lip service. They probably didn't expect mam to have any clothes with tags on. Or expected maybe one or two items to be returned. Whatever transpired - I'm writing this review because I feel duty bound to call out appalling customer service. I'm a business owner myself of 7.5 years and pride myself on my honesty, communication, integrity, connection and kindness. The staff at Lisa Baker deserve to be reprimanded for how they treated me and I suggest they get updated customer service training. Mam was literally a 'cash cow'. The funeral has passed and they've been given a nod in the eulogy at mass and online with RIP ie and they're washing their hands. I'm giving 1 star for the products as it's not possible to give 0 and hope that this review helps others.

    There is nothing "used" about the mouth-watering racks of vintage and gently-worn designer duds in…read moreSecond Avenue in Sandymount village. Just a little off the beaten path along Seafort Avenue, this is the secret shop D4 dandies go to for the best of Fashion Weeks past, as previously worn by Social and Personal types. Step into the back for a look at filmier gowns and frocks, but steel thyself for the prices -there's no bargain basement prices (but you will get that Chanel blouse at half it's original sale price). My first introduction to Second Avenue was on a cold spring day a few years back; as we rounded a corner on a closed up shop I wondered if we'd gone too far. A moment later the shop front appeared, blocked in by rows of Land Rovers parked right in front of the shop window. Inside there was quiet as women fanned through beautiful silks and suits hung along the wall racks. At the centre table I fell in love with a black croc clutch that I would end up going back twice to mull over bringing home. The price tag ended the would-be romance.

    Second Avenue is where all the D4 ladies go second hand shopping. But this boutique is a far cry…read morefrom Oxfam or SVP. It is definitely not a mothball charity shop. On offer here you can find Gucci suits, Prada handbags, Alexander McQueen jackets and John Rocha scarves, all at a fraction of the original price (though unfortunately still out of my budget!). The clothes range from vintage to last season, and most pieces would be suited for the more mature lady.
