D4

It's worth noting that many second-hand shops in Dublin 4 usually offer expensive items like Chanel sunglasses and Louis Vitton handbags. These "Brown Thomas thrifts" - as it's likely that's where the original owners found these items - won't be making it on our list since they're still nowhere near affordable for the average thrifter.

A look inside the store (Oxfam Ringsend)

What: Oxfam Ringsend has a great selection of pre-loved and brand-new clothes for women, men and children, along with a range of shoes, bags and accessories.
