As you may have guessed I'm a magpie and love all things that sparkle and glitter, and vintage, cant be helped ..so when I first discovered Folkster, it was like the cat that got the cream and tonnes of it!
Shutterbug is based in Kilkenny and I only stumbled upon it on (dare I say it) a hen night a few years back, for a while I was deprived of all the beautiful pieces stocked there. That is until they launched their online website.The thoughts of having access to a fantastic stylists edits from her vintage sourcing trips to New York at a click of a button ..well this made me beyond excited..(lets just say I'm definitely an online buying kinda gal).and even better news is they recently opened Folkster, during the summer ( May 30th to be precise) in Dublin's Eustace Street, in Temple bar.
So here's bit of background on Folkster, Irish stylist, blogger and owner of Shutterbug Vintage (in Kilkenny) Blanaid Hennessy is the woman behind Folkster and she travels around the world sourcing pieces for the store. There's a mix of vintage and brand new beautiful pieces, jewellery, shoes, and pretty things for your home. Not only that but she was one of the first to bring Jeffrey Campbell shoes to Ireland.
The beauty of Folkster is with Blanaid's styling experience, she not only picks up fabulous pieces but shows her customers, how and what ways to style any of the pieces she stocks ...which is like a double bonus!
The fashionista staff are all about helping and advising you, and they are geniuses at what they do and definitely not intimidating.
