    Does anybody know a shop where I can buy replacement buttons?
    I'm really only looking for anywhere from rathmines to temple bar (areas I can easily walk to during lunch)

    Yep, second this. It's the Woolen Mills Trimming shop

    Oh, and there's a haberdashery on Castle Market (the road between Drury St and Sth William St - beside Grogans) too

    There's a Hickeys on Henry Street. There used to be one in Stephens Green but it's gone now.

    Hickeys is a little less expensive than The Woollen Mills but the latter has a much bigger selection. So Hickeys would be best if you just want simple things like thread, buttons, zips, needles, bobbins etc. The Woollen Mills is better for fabrics and crafts.

    Are ya mad? I work in the trade. I use both Hickeys and Woolen Mills, amongst others, for supplies. Hickeys is more expensive by an order of magnitude, especially for small things like buttons and trimmings. The Woolen Mills has it's issues but is waaay cheaper than Hickeys.

    I've found little things like thread, buttons, needles are more expensive in the Woollen Mills.
