DUNNES Stores fans are scrambling to get their hands on staple tops for just €6 – and they come in three gorgeous colours.
The Scoop Neck Polyamide Vest has landed in stores across the country and is also available to buy online.
The cute tops are available in black, grey or a neutral stone shade.
Dunnes Stores chiefs said the top has a fitted shape.
They said: “An essential in any wardrobe, this polyamide vest is half-lined to under the bust, and is created in soft, stretch fabric with a scoop neck.
“In a fitted shape, this is perfect for layering or wearing alone.”
The sleek tops are a bargain €6 and range in sizes XS to XXL.
Ellen, who posts under @ellen_porterr, took to TikTok to rate the must-have basic.
She showed off the scoop neck vest in black.
Ellen said: “I don’t know what Dunnes have done lately, but they have upped their game so much, it’s unbelievable.
“I got this top last weekend in Dunnes for €6 and it is genuinely such a good basic piece to have in your wardrobe. I’m obsessed with it.”
The style lover told how there’s a selection of the tops in stores.
She said: “I love the material. They also have different styles. They have long-sleeved ones as well. I picked up a few of them.”
The TikToker urged people to run to Dunnes Stores before the tops sell out.
She added: “I’m a size extra small. But if you’re looking for good basics, I think it’s time that you guys go to Dunnes. Like, right now.”
Dunnes Stores bosses have also released the ultimate jacket for spring.
Lauren, who posts under @laurenegerton, took to TikTok to show off her “pretty” find.
She said: “A great little find from Dunnes Stores! I absolutely adore the colour khaki so it had my name written all over it. These are still currently in Dunnes Stores.”
The Boucle Biker Jacket has landed in Dunnes Stores across the country and is also available online.
Lauren continued: “I am addicted to the colour khaki, and the one thing I will never do is apologise for it.
“Okay, some people like to buy chocolate. I like to buy khaki green. Have you seen this in Dunnes?”
Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion – Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn’t always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year, Ben Dunne opened the first ever Dunnes Stores on St Patrick’s Street in Co Cork.
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer’s archives recall as a “shopping frenzy.”
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at “pre-war prices” was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and Gardai were called to the scene.
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn’t caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as one of the nation’s leading retailers.
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:
- 118 in the Republic of Ireland,
- 15 in Northern Ireland
- Five stores in Spain.
