FASHION fans are scrambling to get their hands on a beautiful winter coat in Dunnes Stores – and it’s set to turn heads.
The Gallery Long Borg Coat is available in stores across the county.
The faux fur finish black coat has buttons down the centre and pockets.
Carrie, who posts under @coveted_by_carrie, took to TikTok to show off the winter coat.
She said: “One of my best buys In the January sale, and it wasn’t even on sale. I was hoping it would go on sale.
“It actually sounds a bit mean of me, because this fabulous fur coat is in Dunnes Stores, and it was only €60.”
The classic coat is perfect for your capsule wardrobe.
Carrie continued: “Like a coat like this on sale would be €60, like you’d give €120 for this. I would anyway.
“It’s a timeless piece, fair play to Dunnes. I think they’re very fair and reasonable with their clothes.
“Lads these days, clothes are cheaper than food. That’s my excuse, anyway.
“But I’m going to be good this year. I’m really going to be more mindful and more conscious. But I am pleased with this.”
The cosy coat is available in sizes 8 to 18.
Its description reads: “Achieve ultimate comfort with this longline coat from Gallery.
“In a double-breasted fashion, it features a cosy collar, deep pockets for extra warmth and a satin lining for a luxurious feel.
“Perfect for braving the colder weather in style.”
The Gallery Long Borg Coat in black is completely sold out online.
But the winter coat is still available in mocha and reduced to €30.
Shoppers are also going wild for a winter essential that has hit the shelves in Dunnes Stores.
The belted hot water bottle has arrived in stores across the country and is also available online.
The belted hot water bottle, retailing at €10, has a soft grey cover and Velcro strap.
An Irish TikTok user, who posts under @megankatemcg, told how the hot water bottle is a game-changer.
She said: “This one is for the girls, potentially the guys as well. But I feel like definitely more girls.
“If you want to get yourself like a little treat, like a little sweet treat, a little something cosy for this freezing weather, or just in general, to make your life 10 times happier – you need this, this bad boy strap on hot water bottle.”
Megan revealed the grey hot water bottle strapped to her stomach.
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.
