If any of you have ever been to Thailand, you will recognize most of the clothes and accessories on sale in Konfusion from the rails of the hawkers on the Kho San Road in Bangkok. There are several shops in Dublin now offering similar stuff (Om Diva in Georges Street Arcade being one of the first), but Konfusion seems to have the edge when it comes to value, despite what I han only imagine would be some of the highest rents in Dublin due to the prime location of the shop on Temple Bar Square.
The clothes here are mostly suitable for summer wear - flowery dresses, linen tops and flowy pants - but there's also a lovely selection of colourful hats, scarves and woolly jumpers to keep you warm in the winter. The silver jewelery is beautiful, with some pieces incorporating red coral (again, sourced in Bangkok I would guess).
Konfusion is a great place to pick up thoughtful presents for any woman - from the jewellery to scarves to clothes to fairy lights, there's something to suit most tastes. -

I agree that it strikes me more as Spanish in feeling rather than Hippie, though you will find your fair share of harem pants and light-weight floral halter tops and what not.
But I found the majority of the clothes to be something any girl could wear; bubble hem tunics with cute patterns along the bottom, cotton thermals for chilly days and some really cool shirts, jackets and dresses by Surkana. There is a lot of fun color and pattern here and the store has an overall happy feel. I dig it!
They also have some adorable little tops and dresses for little girls. -

If you like your hippie clothes or festival wear this shop is for you. Right in the heart of Temple Bar, Konfusion is choc full of a paraphernalia of tie-dye and rainbow brights.
Konfusion would be a great place to stock up pre-Oxegen or Electric picnic, and there are some real finds for whoever can be bothered looking...
My particular faves are the yellow star bracelets (always been a sucker for stars), the t-shirts with pockets in them (how awesome!) and the very hip and happening hats and bags.
They also sell nag champa incense here - the best brand in the world! -

I just love this shop. I only discovered it today despite it being on one of the most popular streets in Temple Bar. It's easy to miss because it's quite small. The word hallway aptly describes the shop.
Some of the other Yelpers have labelled this place as hippie, but I see it more as being Spanish. The amount of colours and patterns reminds me of mosaics you would find in Barcelona.
The clothes are really original. There are beautiful summer dresses, both long and short, with crazy patterns. The shop sells those cool Harem trousers, the baggy ones that are tapered at the knee, and stocks one of my favourite designers 70sup.
70sup makes bags and wallets that have disco patterns. Their stuff looks like the glass beads you'd see in a kaleidoscope.
Konfusion is definitely one of the business that gives Temple Bar that trendy bohemian feel. -

I wish I could afford you Konfusion!
Very tiny shop with a very specific selection. Everytime I go in I want to buy something but don't. Everything they sell is extremely well constructed (while still having the DIY look) and does go on sale. -

Konfusion is a quintessential Temple Bar shop...a veritable bazaar of clothes, jewellery, hats, scarves (it is in Dublin after all!!), and a few knickknacks, all packed into a tiny space in the heart of Temple Bar.
Check out it's ever-present sale rack for good deals on fairly traded goods from around the world, or in their jewellery section for beautiful worked silver. The staff are really friendly, and the clothes are quirky and a little bit hippie. The only problem with the clothes is one which pervades such shops...they often look better on the hangers than they do on people (though perhaps the supermodels amongst you don't have to worry about this...I'm writing this more for us normal, non-perfect type folks!!).
However, if you're a fan of the unusual, and enjoy a rummage (and rummage you will...they truly have packed as much as possible into the shop!!), then Konfusion is definitely worth a peek...
