The jeans come in sizes 6 to 18, though shoppers have been quick to snap them up as the only sizes left in stock online are 8, 12 and 16.
But shoppers may still be able to find their sizes in their local store.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion bosses wrote: “These cotton wide-leg jeans are cut for a modern, relaxed silhouette with a flattering high waist.
“Detailed with five-pocket styling and tonal stitching, they’re a versatile staple for everyday dressing. Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Joanna continued: “They have a beautiful, really cool barrel leg – the length is lovely, I’m 5″8 and a half for reference, and it’s a really on trend style at the moment.”
Speaking about the comfort, she said: “They’re lovely soft material.”
She picked up a size 8, noting that the sizing is “perfect”.
Joanna added: “I love the pockets at the back; they’re really comfortable to wear, and they’re gorgeous. I love cream jeans when spring and summer arrive.”
She paired it with a gorgeous grey cardigan also stocked in Dunnes Stores.
The Savida Boucle Cardigan costs just €30 and is available in sizes XXS to XXL.
The grey cardigan features large silver buttons up the centre.
In the official item description on the website, fashion chiefs said: “Sumptuously soft, this cropped cardigan from Savida is crafted from a soft and cosy boucle fabric.
“Featuring classic ribbed trims and intricately designed buttons, it can be worn with a skirt and boots or with your favourite denim.”
She added that it is “so easy to style; I love the fit. You can pair it with a longer top, or, as I did, with a cropped cardi.
“Really good length down to the ankle – for €30, I love them.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
