I would describe it like the Bloomingdales or Saks 5th Avenue or Ireland. There's not a lot of options for individual luxury stores in the city so this place is a one-stop shop. Selections might be more limited because each store is smaller, but rest assured they have all the popular items. Tax-Free Shopping: For tourists (non-EU/GB residents), the tax-free shopping option is a huge plus. When you purchase your item, let them know you're interested in doing the tax-free rebate. You should bring your passport but the person who helped me said a photo was fine. They'll print out a receipt for you to submit to Planet at the airport. The minimum purchase is 75 euros to qualify. If the purchase amount of your goods is below 2,000 euros, you don't need to get a customs stamp at the airport. Just return your completed form at Planet desk after security or deposit it in the Planet drop box and they'll do it on your behalf. Considering the VAT is 23%, this is a great value for all you visiting shoppers. Don't forget to stop by this place and check it out before you leave town!

If you're wandering around Grafton Street, as tourists often find themselves doing in Dublin,…read moreyou're bound to run into Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer.

I visited Dublin from NYC for the first time in May to celebrate my birthday so I was already in a…read moreTreat Yo' Self mentality but as soon as I stepped foot in Brown Thomas, I knew I was going to do some damage. We visited this department store a few days over the course of our trip. I wasn't sure at first what I was planning to buy but I kept eyeing one of the Louis Vuitton perfumes that I had previously discovered on a trip to Maui. Their perfumes are definitely on the pricey side but the nice thing is they're small enough for carry on liquid limits, they have a magnetic lid, and they're refillable - and the refills are also cheaper than the initial bottle purchase. The amount of times I sprayed that perfume on myself over my Maui and Dublin trips, I was sold - so that was my first add to cart moment. Next, was a belt. I thought I wanted a Gucci Marmot belt but my cousin convinced me to check out the Celine department - instead I went with a Triomphe belt. It's such a classic and timeless design so it was the right choice. And finally - the ultimate big purchase was in the Chanel department. For a long time I have been eyeing the goatskin grosgrain cap toe slingback heels. I have tried them on in NYC before but hadn't gone through with a purchase - until this trip; it was finally time! Also to add, every single sales person that we interacted with was incredibly nice. Elsewhere, designer stores don't always have the best customer service; however, I felt nothing but kindness when I was mulling over my big purchases - which to me were really big. And they were kind enough to combine them into one receipt so I could get the best VAT refund as well so extra thanks to each of the sales persons who helped me. The VAT refund process was super easy too - I just dropped off the completed form with receipt information at the airport and after a few weeks received the credit on my cad.

The Zara/Forever 21 parts come from the large amount of clothing, shoes and accessories here.

I didn't recognize any of the brands though. Probably mostly Irish or other European. I had this bright idea that I could fit into a girls skirt (8-9 years old) but alas the skirt didn't have a Zipper so I definitely couldn't fit.

Let's just say her clothes are a bit dowdy and dated and she dresses about 20 years older than she is. That said. I was passing Boyer's the other day and decided to have a look around myself. I suppose if you're looking to take your Gran shopping this might be the kind of shop she'd love, but alas as a young 20-something there wasn't much for me to buy!

I wandered around for a while and every time I found something nice it was way out of my price range. Everything within my budget was well within it, but not that cute. They have a lot of really great classic pieces, probably aimed at an older crowd. Would be woth checking out if you are in the market for a well-tailored suit that isn't super expensive but that you're willing to drop a bit of dough on. They also have a great shoe department, which is probably where I would spend my money if I were to do so in here.

Great area, same up to date stock as Mary Street store and saves you having to tip off down there if you're in a rush.

The clothes in Dunnes are of a very high quality and are a very reasonable price. My favourite at the moment would be their "Star Buy" Collection which would have very fashionable items at pocket money prices. I bought a coat out of this collection that is warm and really well fit, and it only cost me €35 a snip of the cost of a coat in other stores. At the moment they have winter clothes in this collection, including a lovely cardigan (black or cream) for just €20 and a long slieve shirt with belt for just €15. In Dunnes Stores on Henry Street, they have a whole floor dedicated to children's clothes and accessories which is absolutely huge. Also a men's section which is quite big also. If you fancy something to eat after all that shopping, there is a really nice restaurant on the top floor. I have been to this restaurant and found the food to be delicious.

On the top floor they have quite a nice restaurant and cafe bar which you might find yourself gravitating too once you've tried it.
