The Gloss x The Shopkeepers Best Shops Ireland 2024
We are thrilled to announce that our store on Drury Street, Dublin, has been chosen as one of THE GLOSS X The Shopkeepers 100 Best Shops Ireland 2024! Being included on this prestigious list – curated by THE GLOSS and TheShopkeepers.com – is an incredible honor and acknowledgement of over 23 years of hard work by Helen McAlinden and the team.
“A stunning shop tells a story,” says Paula Flynn of TheShopkeepers.com, and we couldn’t agree more. Our Drury Street store is crafted to be more than just a shopping destination; it’s a space where style meets substance. We believe shopping should be a personal experience, where every garment is thoughtfully designed and crafted, and where our visitors can feel truly at home exploring our collection.
Our founder, Helen McAlinden, believes that style is an experience, not just a look – a commitment you’ll find in every detail of our store. We want our space to feel warm and welcoming. To create that cosy atmosphere, we carefully incorporate little touches that make all the difference. One example is our use of seasonal diffusers and candles; you'll often find one lit when you visit, filling the space with scents that reflect the time of year. We’re also proud plant parents! Amid the minimalist whites, the greenery adds a touch of color, bringing a natural vibrancy to the space. When designing the No.19 space, we made sure to include comfy seating for your shopping entourage so friends can weigh in on your style choices from the comfort of couches.
One thing that many people don’t know? Helen’s Atelier is situated on the top floor of our store. This setup is essential, allowing our design team to receive real-time feedback from customers as they simultaneously work on upcoming collections. The environment we’ve created at No.19 keeps the connection between designer and customer close, fostering an intimacy that helps us craft pieces that truly cater to their needs. To make you feel your best, designed for women who value elegance and quality.
We’re in amazing company on this year’s list. We’re honoured to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with so many inspiring Irish boutiques and creatives, many of which who we share Drury Street with, each bringing something unique to the communities they serve. Thank you to THE GLOSS, TheShopkeepers.com, and our loyal customers who support us. Your appreciation fuels our passion to keep delivering the exceptional, season after season.
