Dunes Stores Helen James

 I thought I would look at some Irish retailers who I love over the next couple of weeks.  

Dunnes stores is an Irish family business that seems to be here forever. It was known for its St Bernard's brand which was considered to be a discount brand.  In recent years it has been reinvented itself and is my favourite grocery store to shop in because of its quality, range and quality of products.

Where I feel it stands out is its homeware department it has introduced new ranges in collaboration with Paul Costelloe and more recently Carolyn Donnelly I will take a look at these ranges in the future.

The newest  range Considered by Helen James is quite simply stunning.  Helen qualified from The National College of Art and Design and headed to New York where she worked for Donna Karan and many more. She has returned to Ireland and collaborated with Dunnes on this range.

I just bought two items last week a candle and a dough scraper but I imagine I will be adding something to my grocery basket every week.  I was impressed with not only the design, style but the quality and price range .

I purchased from Dunnes Stores at the Beacon. You can see where the range is available on their website and you can purchase online and get it delivered to a store near you.

By the way this is not a sponsored post I just like this brand. Check it out at Dunnes Sores.com





My  Basil & Fennel candle






The candle out of the box €12.50






Dough scraper €2.50

The display at the Beacon






I love the brass range which includes a wide range of pans and moulds.




I will definitely buy this linen bag which helps keep your bread fresher




The pottery range





The baskets





Such lovely cooking accessories



Have a lovely weekend

  10. Lovely things, interesting about that bag. We've taken to buying baguettes every day as the kids still insist on eating white bread, that might be a great way of keeping it fresh

  11. I'm just catching up after my holiday. My basket would be full if I wandered around here. So much which appeals to me. The candle sounds divine and I could make use of the bread bag too not to mention all those cooking accessories!
