AVOCO & bow boutique in Dublin Ireland

***
***
Avoca is a five-floor family-run emporium which has become a bit of an institution in Ireland. Offering everything from home furnishings, books, wellingtons, cutesy frilly Irish-designed fashion, and a lively top floor cafe. Avoca had its beginnings in Co.Wicklow where the weavers produced the beautifully woven fabrics which became Avoca's hallmark. Its cafe is informal and offers fare such as pasta, fresh fish dishes, home-made soups (are to DIE for...just saying) and hearty salads. We ate three of our main meals here and seriously just couldn't get enough.  It's a William Sonoma and Anthropologie put together with a fabulous bakery on the bottom floor and a Cafe on Top.  That's a perfect shopping day ladies.

bow boutique has been nominated as the top 50 most inspiring boutiques in Ireland and the UK by Drapers Magazine.  It was personal and fun, almost what a little girl would want her dress up room to look like.
