Indigo & Cloth, Dublin Fashion Store, Must Vacate by July 15th
Dublin's Indigo & Cloth fashion store must vacate its Temple Bar location by July 15th. Owner Andy Collins is seeking a new site, while a loyal customer expresses concern over the city's changing retail landscape.
Indigo & Cloth, a fashion store and cafe in Dublin's Temple Bar, must vacate its premises by July 15th after receiving a notice from its landlord. Owner Andy Collins, who established the business in 2007, expressed surprise but remains optimistic about finding a new location, ideally "Grafton-adjacent."
Customer Ann Downey, a long-time patron, voiced her disappointment, lamenting the loss of independent shops and the city's increasing focus on hotels over diverse retail. Collins acknowledged the challenge of high rental prices driven by international brands, a reality he believes is common in modern European cities, but hopes to secure one of Dublin's many vacant properties.
