Se avete sempre sentito parlare di Temple Bar per la caotica e molto turistica vita notturna dublinese, oggi vogliamo sfatare questo mito e mostrarvi un volto alternativo della zona, rivelandovi un buon motivo per trascorrere qui qualche ora (che non sia notturna) in uno dei quartieri più nota di Dublino. Se doveste capitare in Temple Bar di mattina o di pomeriggio, infatti,guardatevi bene intorno: da buoni osservatori non potrete fare a meno di notare come le vie e viette della zona siano piene zeppe di negozi di abbigliamento e di design assolutamente innovativi e d'avanguardia che cattureranno la vostra attenzione ad un primo sguardo. E se siete dei veri fashion addicted come noi non potrete farvi mancare un giro da "Siopaella" (traduzione in gaelico per "Ella's shop") che vi faremo scoprire con il nostro post di oggi. Non aspettatevi il classico negozio di abbigliamento perchè Siopaella è un'innovativa boutique di scambio e di vendita di abiti ed accessori che formano un giusto mix di capi firmati vintage nuovi o di seconda mano, attentamente selezionati ed intercambiabili. Basti pensare che la merce venduta cambia più o meno ogni giorno, quindi acquistare diventa continuamente un'esperienza unica, ricca di piacevoli sorprese ! Brand di lusso come Chanel, Vuitton, Prada ed Alexander McQueen, affiancati a linee low cost come Zara, Top Shop, COS e a linee create da designer emergenti irlandesi sono solo alcuni dei marchi che potrete trovare all'interno dei tre store Siopaella, situati nel cuore di Temple Bar. E se per caso siete in possesso di capi vintage firmati che non utilizzate più, non preoccupatevi perchè Siopaella è anche il luogo in cui poterli vendere: si perchè per ogni capo che porterete al negozio e che verrà poi venduto riceverete circa il 40% del prezzo di vendita. Ma, attenzione, diversamente da molti altri negozi di vintage, Siopaella segue la filosofia della massima qualità del prodotto, cosa che rende i capi venduti ed acquistati unici nel loro genere; questa filosofia di vendita sembra funzionare davvero bene, basti pensare che Florence Welch del gruppo "Florence and The Machine" ha fatto shopping in questa boutique così originale. Per cui noi vi consigliamo di farci un salto, ma nel frattempo date un'occhiata al loro sito (dove troverete anche la sezione "shop-online", per avere una panoramica più dettagliata sui marchi venduti! E allora mouse in mano e buono shopping!

If you know Temple Bar for its night life and pubs, after reading this post you will change your mind: in fact, we’re going to demonstrate that this area of the Irish capital, well known as one of the most touristic places in the city, also has an alternative side, often hidden but really charming. If you’ve decided to spend a few hours in this quarter during the day to discover something different, you’ll see that in all the narrow streets there are clothes shops and design labs, absolutely unique in their genre. If you’re real fashion addicted like us, you cannot miss “Siopalella” (which is the Gaelic translation of “Ella’s shop”), a great boutique that we absolutely recommend. It isn’t the typical clothes shop, it's an original boutique where you can buy but also exchange clothes and accessories, both vintage and new, for a great, selected mix of unique items. And the merchandise is always different, every day you will find new unique items, so that shopping at Siopalella is a unique experience. In the 3 Siopalella stores, all situated in the hearth of Temple Bar, you’ll find luxury brands like Chanel, Vuitton, Prada and Alexander McQueen mixed together with low cost brands like Zara, Top Shop, COS and original brands created by young Irish designers. And if you have branded vintage clothes that you don’t use anymore, Siopalella is the perfect place to sell them: in fact, for each item that you will take to the shop and which will be sold, you’ll receive 40% of the selling price. The only difference between Siopalella and all the other vintage shops is that, here, the quality of the products is a fundamental requisite; and this selling policy is working very well: consider that Florence Welsh from Florence and The Machine has bought some of her clothes here. For all these reasons, we suggest to have a look at almost one of the three stores situated in Temple Bar or, if you’re not planning a trip to Dublin right now, to check the shop’s website (where you can find all the brands that they sell at the section "shop-online"). We wish you a great shopping experience!
