The IMAGE Boutique Awards celebrate local business who push above and beyond to make their shopping experience the best that it can be. Boutiques are so important to the Irish fashion industry, to regional economies and to the social fabric of our towns and cities. But more than that, the excellent (very personal) service you receive from them doesn’t just make the difference between walking away with the perfect piece you didn’t know you needed, but it’s also a lovely way to build relationships with the women and men you’re buying from. At IMAGE we value these relationships and taking time to enjoy buying something special.
The very best boutiques in Ireland are listed below. Voting is open to the public until voting closes at midnight, July 29th .
