Anyone know when is this store open, during the week i purchased a few bits in the liverpool store but need to return a few bits for a diffrent size. Rang Hollister to ask about returns and they told be the Dublin store had oppend.

Creamy Goodness

so what if knackers wear it, if it's good quality clothing then who cares.*

the whole A&F/Hollister phrase has finished now, thank jebus except for the likes of d4-eqsue parts of dublin.


*quality of clothes is not directed at A&F/Hollister in any shape or form

I do find the Hollister t-shirts don't wash well, but I adore my hoodie (I find it really really hard to get hoodies that fit me properly) though I'm not really their target market. By, oh, a good 15 years.

The location in Dundrum that I am assuming is for Hollister - second floor, on the central atrium - still had hoardings up on Thursday.

I wonder how much they will put their prices up by. I love my Hollister hoody because its so cosy and soft, but Hollister and A&F are about 2 years too late. Some of the stuff is lovely, but not the walking billboard stuff.

Hollister and A&F aren't really my scene but don't worry the stores will do amazingly with people from the other counties fleeting to Dublin to get their piece .

E.E.F.

Well what? Is it any good do you mean? I haven't been but I'd be certain it is identical to every other Hollister ever. They're very standard, standard layout, they have a fairly small collection of items so generally everything online is in store. Generally. There's another thread here on prices.

Sorry if that's not what you meant, I can't really tell. I'd assumed your BUMP was to find out if they were open.

I was in Dundrum on last Sunday and was wondering what the queues and guys in fake tan and underwear were about... I guessed as much.

Just wondering what it was like?
Are the guys hot?

Er well, if you're into having topless guys in the store where you shop, personally I'd feel uncomfortable. They were tanned, topless and sporty looking - that's all I noticed tbh.

Probably a stupid question, but are the sizes in store the same as their online store?

I'm sure they are - but I can't say for certain. I have purchased instore in US and Belfast and NZ and here - sizing all the same. Bigger than my usual size but hey, I'll live with it for a stripey t-shirt (am OBSESSED with stripey t-shirts)

The men are topless!? :eek:

That's pure exploitation, are the girls in bikinis?

Yep. To be honest, I didn't see any girls, but I'm inclined to agree with you. It was bizarre.

I was there last week (purely for price comparison purposes ) and the girls I saw were in little cami tops and hot pant style denim shorts.

I was in NY in January, there was several feet of snow outside but in Hollister the guys were going around topless and the girls in tiny bikinis!

And they have a lovely triangle of suncream on their noses. I think it's the Baywatch look they're going for. I didn't see any girls either but then I was just passing by and I was kind of shocked that there was a queue to get in so I couldn't take much in.

I don't get why people come onto a thread about Hollister and moan.

Nobody is forcing you to buy their clothes.

I think it's an excellent addition to Dundrum.
