Second Avenue

21/11/2012

I  have bought Chloe, YSL, Sevens, Vivenne westwood from this store. It is slightly off the beaten track, which is a reason i love it more, you get to spend more time with the amazing fashion guru and also owner of this store. She really really tells you honestly what suits you and does not try to push a sale which is what i HATE  about over priced boutiques in Dublin..Keep you the good work! ( and the highend labels)

Popped into this beautiful spot on a vacation home after hearing about the fab deals from a friend who had been in here. What can I say except that what gal doesn't love some designer swag at amazing prices! The woman who was working (maybe the owner) was so helpful and knowledgeable (I was looking for a party dress). I left with an amazing piece. Very happy

There is nothing "used" about the mouth-watering racks of vintage and gently-worn designer duds in Second 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 from 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.

From the moment you walk through the door you know your day is going to get better, rows of fabulous designer collections ( YSL, Junya Watanbe, Comme de Garcon, D&G, J Brands, Sevens to name just  a few of their tantalizing offerings!!!) and the loveliest fashion guru to advise and piece together the ideal outfit for any occasion, Aisling not only has an eye for fashion, she's also a great personal shopper, friendly and never pushy. I cant wait to see what she has to tease me with every time I call in...
