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.

Worst customer service! In late April, 2026, my husband and…read moreI took a 10-day trip to Europe to celebrate our 20th anniversary. While in Galway, we stopped into Claddagh Jewelers. I found a lovely Claddagh ring that was a more delicate style than is traditional, but it was in yellow gold, not white gold, which is what I usually wear. No worries - I was told they could custom make one for me in white gold and mail it. After checking for proper size, I ordered the ring, paid for it, including shipping, and returned home and waited. The ring arrived May 22, and I was so excited, only to open the box and find they sent the same ring - in yellow gold - that I had tried on! The receipt clearly states, "9k white gold Claddagh ring". I emailed the shop right away, get detailed instructions for returning the ring, including how to handle customs paperwork. After 3 trips to 2 different post offices (no one seemed to know how to handle the customs form), and at a cost of over $70, I was finally able to return it. And then I waited. On August 3, I reached out to the shop inquiring as to the status, and they tell me they did not receive the ring. I checked the shipping QR code and it appeared that the ring was being returned to me! Sure enough, I received the same ring back. Apparently, the ring was sitting in Customs in Ireland from June 23 to August 1. Per customs documents, the package cleared customs, so it seems Claddagh Jewellers dropped the ball yet again. I reached out to the shop, and they wanted me to return the ring; stating that they'd provide a pre-paid label (why didn't they do that when I was returning the wrong ring, which was completely their mistake?). So basically, they want me to return the ring, trusting that after they screwed up twice, this time they'll get it right. If I do that, they will have my money and the ring I purchased and I will be left with nothing except a very bad taste in my mouth over the whole ordeal, and no shred of hope that I will get the proper ring that I ordered. There are many purveyors of Claddagh rings in Galway; I wish that I had gone to Thomas Dillon.

It's a pretty decent sized store packed with all your favourite Yankee candles along with a pretty good selection of shades and other Yankee accessories. I managed to pick myself up a new edition Christmas Shade for €14 instead of the top price of €21, which I think is a little expensive anyhow. It's well worth checking out if you are stuck for a gift for that special someone or like me you are just a huge Yankee Candle fan!

We then went to Lazlo Jewellers just across the street where they had a smaller size and the price was significantly cheaper.

She had this done within an hour while we took care of other arrangements. Thank you Margo for the GREAT SERVICE!

Unfortunately, they did not carry all sizes, but the lady working this store was nice enough to call another Fallers store to check the size for us. The lady requested for the other store to hold that size for us. We thought that was so nice! Fallers also has good sale prices. The store sells everything from clothes (adults and children), to cups, to umbrellas, to toys, etc. A good go to place for gifts. I forgot to mention that Fallers has a small fitting area so you can try on the clothes before buying!

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.
