A worthy past winner of Ireland’s best boutique, this understated store has quite simply one of the most tasteful buys in these isles. It’s almost impossible to find pieces by Paul Harnden but Envoy has them, alongside a great edit of Dries Van Noten and the Japanese brand Engineered Garments, and knitwear from Ireland and Scotland by & Daughter. Trickers shoes and New Balance trainers complete the look. Owner Ruth Spence says: “We’ve been open for 10 years and I think we do well because we sell a lot of harder-to-find brands. People are looking for garments with longevity, and because we’ve worked with clients for years we’re able to say: ‘Oh, this would work with the piece that’s already in your wardrobe!’”
