Love this store! Real Irish wool products labeled and certified. I actually bought a few items,…read morewent across to their sister store across the way called Weavers of Ireland to purchase a beautiful coat received a coupon, and made my way back to Aran for more items : D lol This particular store was 2 floors and had everything from wool scarves, hats, women's clothing, men's clothing, kids clothing, and blankets! You'll find various forms of wool, blends, cashmere... make sure to ask an employee for more information. I ended up purchasing real Irish wool scarves (slightly itchy), softest wool scarf, and a wool sheep toy. The items smelled like a farm lol, but the best way to discard the smell was to air them out. After purchase , you're given specific instructions on how to care for your Irish wool products. Note: Get a tax refund at the airport, with any purchase of 75 Euros or more at a merchant store. Ask for the refund document from the cashier.

Couldn't help myself from repeatedly stopping in this store. So many cozy and beautiful sweaters,…read morehats, blankets, slippers...you name it. I dare you you to walk in and *not* buy something! Staff is super knowledgeable and helpful too. No dressing rooms so just try on in the store and find a mirror! Sale items can be found in the very back.

When looking in the city for some crochet materials, I stumbled across this little shop. Here, in…read moreaddition to the knit clothing that they're more known for, I found some fairly inexpensive 100% wool yarn (€5 for 50g, €10 for 100g skeins). I gladly bought two 50g skeins of two of the beautiful color options and a wooden crochet hook. When I run out of yarn while still in Galway I know where to go back to!

A shop that values the tradition and roots of Irish clothing and textiles. We searched high and low…read morefor a genuine shop with a good selection. The marketing at other chain stores is much better- but the quality at this store is second to none. The store is less than interesting when you walk in, but once you look at the quality and craftsmanship of the sweaters, you quickly realize how genuinely amazing. These sweaters are better than any I've found in years of hunting. The labels state which craftsman knit the sweater and Anne (the owner) will gladly recount stories of each family and knitter. Anne values the history and integrity of each piece and this was of the utmost importance to me. She was willing to have custom pieces made to order as well, which might be valuable to some. I truly think this spot is the best in Ireland.

This is an amazing shop that has a ton of different Irish sweaters for sale along with a ton of…read moreother offerings. The prices are very reasonable and all the items feel like quality. The shop keeper also offers great customer service and will even help you find just the perfect sweater or item for yourself. For example I was going after a front zip sweater and she told me about another sweater she thought would look good on my that was hand finished and I tried it on, she was so right. Needless to say I bought both. She also told me about the tax free card I could register for and get money back when I leave the country since I am not an Irish citizen. I would definitely come back again.

The Sweater Shop is, as you might guess, a sweater shop. It's located in the Fisher Street area of…read moreDoolin (the strip of shops on your way to the docks). I stopped in here and got some postcards as well as a scarf to bring home to my girlfriend. It was a bit pricey, but that's just Ireland I suppose. Overall, a standard shop. I've giving it an extra star because I thought the lady behind the counter was incredibly nice. She also gave me a form to fill out which would allow me to get reimbursed for the VAT when I got back to the airport... maybe this is supposed to be standard, but she was the only shop that did it during my whole time in Ireland. So I appreciated that.

Wow! What an amazing shop. I bought two beautiful wool sweaters that will last me a life time. The…read moreowner is so kind and interesting he even drew a map in my notebook of a hike I need to check out. This shop Is one of a kind!

We were looking for some Connemara marble and the tourist shop near Galway said they were the only…read moreplace and only had small bits. But then we were directed back to Joyce's. I had earlier passed the place up because it claimed it was the best shop in Ireland and I was dubious Shouldn't have been dubious! The owner explained that many of the cutsie tourist places gave tour bus drivers a big kickback (not to mention how much Chinese stuff gets slipped in and represented as Irish),Joyce's didn't so none stopped there. Their loss! This place has the coolest, most authentic stuff. And a great owner and staff to guide you through it Believe their sign!

Gayle and I wandered into the Galway Woolen Market after Dinner at Martine's. I was looking for an…read moreIrish cap and maybe a pair of gloves. The latter turned out to be a dead end as most gloves sold in Ireland are one size and I have big hands. But they did stock an XL Irish cap that fit my big Size 8 head and in a color and style that Gayle was quite pleased. I ended up wearing it throughout the trip and now back home. The brand was Hatman of Ireland, a family run business in Galway. It's made of Donegal Tweed and it looks fabulous!

I'm looking into seeing if they ship, because now that I'm back home in the States, i really do want one of these cute, unique sheep. They also have blankets and throws, but by far the cutest things are the little sheep dolls.

After a visit to the U.S in the early 90's I was introduced to the beautiful fragrances of Yankee…read moreCandles.It was impossible to find them in Ireland back then but how things have changed in recent years and I no longer have to pack my case with the jars when I visit the U.S. I recently had the chance to visit Yankee's on Lower Abbey gate St in Galway. It's a pretty decent sized store packed with all your favourite Yankee candles along with a pretty good selection of shades and other Yankee accessories. I managed to pick myself up a new edition Christmas Shade for €14 instead of the top price of €21, which I think is a little expensive anyhow. It's well worth checking out if you are stuck for a gift for that special someone or like me you are just a huge Yankee Candle fan!
