Overview

Discover Dublin’s hidden vintage gems. We start with an award winning Irish Coffee where you can get to know you guide and share what type of style you are into. Your guide takes great pride in finding the best match for you and making you feel like a local. Not a tourist.

Led by a local vintage lover, this small-group tour offers more than shopping. Enjoy local treats, hear stories, get styling tips, and explore shops full of clothing, accessories, records, and curiosities. Guests receive 10–20% discounts in selected partner stores.
