I vacationed in Ireland in the summer - it is a chilly country and wasn't as prepared for the cooler weather in an attempt to pack light. There were tons of Aran sweaters and while they are pretty, it's not practical for L.A. It's wool and very thick. I remember telling someone I just had to go into a store with this funny name. The brand reminds me of Roxy. Anyways, they have quality clothing that is more sporty and apparently it's been around since the 80's. It's an English brand and was introduced to it in Kinsale!

There are various stalls all located inside what I guess was a parking garage and all have some slightly different wares on offer. Some quite kitschy, some quite odd and some downright cool. I wish we had more space to take stuff home with us but unfortunately my baggage allowance is full so I will leave it all to you Corkers. This is a real gem and a great place to potter around for a half hour or so, but only open on the weekends.

The shop itself is actually quite large inside, with three separate rooms. Each room is decorated and carefully curated to show their lovely, quality, eclectic stock. It's really a homewares store I suppose, with lots of lovely unique piece. The lady I spoke to (I'm guessing the owner) was extremely friendly and helpful and encouraged us to have a good browse. I literally wanted to buy everything in the shop! She informed us then that they also have a website which you can order from (YAY). 100% worth a look if you are in the area!

Across the road, you have the Retail Park, B & Q, PC World and Hickeys among those you may visit here. Needed a gift voucher today and headed there. It is a good place to get one as your voucher is also valid in other big centres such as Liffey Valley and Northside Shopping Centres in Dublin, Whitewater shopping Centre in Newbridge, Co. Kildare and the Merchants Quay Shopping Centre in Cork. The kiosk just inside the front door sells the vouchers and will also help out with any queries you may have on Mahon Point - they also have a range of helpful leaflets and a storefinder. Found the staff quite helpful and knowledgeable.
