If your planning some shopping in Dublin over the weekend I’d definitely recommend a visit to Oxfam Vintage on Georges street.
They have some great pieces from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s as well as some modern clothing.
Shopping vintage is a great way to get good quality original clothing without having to pay a fortune.
You’ll also be helping projects in nine African countries – It’s the best excuse you’ll ever have for indulging in some retail therapy!

On the last Sunday of every month the Dublin Flea Market comes to town and The Savvy Shopper was there to sample the atmosphere and the shopping!
Where is it? The Coop, Newmarket, Dublin 8.
What can I buy? A great selection of mostly vintage dresses, skirts and cardigans. There was also lots of retro jewelry and accessories
Who goes? The dublin alternative set – think kooky head bands,maxi dresses and a little rockabilly.
Save or splurge? Prices can vary hugely from stall to stall but if your not afraid to haggle you could bag yourself a real gem!
Quick trip or long afternoon? Even though the market is quite small (it’s how Brick Lane started sweetie!) you could easily spend a couple of hours there. They had some great live bands yesterday and teamed with the weather and some great outdoor seating it made for a very relaxing and chilled out atmosphere.
Watch out for Flea TV the monthly documentary on the market which can be viewed online.
