In August 2022 I brought my twelve and thirteen year old nephew and neice who live in London to Dunnes clothes store, (3-11 High Street in Belfast City Centre) to shop. My sister had given them £40 each. They loved it! My neice said she normally dislikes shopping, she said, her mum would be surprized to hear she had gone and futhemore bought sveral items. My nephew bought two hoodies (sweat shirt with hood attached, beautiful colours, one sky blue and one pale khaki green), one smart, dressy, red t shirt with collar and discrete, small, navy logo and one colourful, casual t shirt. The total cost of the four items was £20, approximately £5 each and the quality of the clothes was excellent. My nephew was delighted, he said one of those items in London would cost £30. My neice likes sports wear and she bought bicycle shorts (in beautiful colours), a zip up gym/sweat jacket and several vest tops. She spent £32. They plan to go back to Dunnes, next time they visit us in Belfast which is fairly often. I took an American visitor (a friend who lives in Belfast's, sister there too, at her request. She clearly likes it too, is it any wonder! She was buying several gifts (pretty little make up bags and toilet bags etc) to bring back to America to friends, after her holiday. Dunnes sells clothes for everyone, all age groups. They do stuff for your home also, bed linen etc. They are a Dublin based company. They have several shops in Belfast but the one in High Street City Centre, near Mc Donalds is the biggest and best, in my opinion. It is such good value and the staff are so helpful, if you are not sure about sizes etc.
