Meanwhile, fashion fans have gone wild over a new padded jacket that’s arrived in Dunnes Stores – and it comes in two colours.
The Funnel Diamond Padded Jacket is available online and in stores nationwide.
Rachael, who posts under @primiavie, took to TikTok advising shoppers to “run to Dunnes” for the jacket.
She said the coat was “so nice for the price”.
The padded coat has a high collar, pockets and a diamond quilted design.
Dunnes Stores designers said the jacket is perfect for everyday wear.
They said: “This funnel padded jacket has a relaxed feel with its diamond stitching and muted tone.
“The snap-button front, concealed zip, and high collar create an easy layered look, while subtle contrast details and pockets add depth.
“A go-to layer for everyday wear.”
Retailing at just €35, the cute coat comes in sizes XS to XXL.
It is the perfect jacket for transitional weather from spring to summer.
Shoppers can choose from a cool stone shade or a classic khaki.
One shopper said: “Ohh love it.”
Another shared: “Have it in this colour and green and I live in them! So ideal for this weather.”
While another added: “Gorg.”
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.
