Jenny Vander sells vintage clothing and costume jewellery from 50 Drury Street in Dublin 2. The Shopkeepers records the shop as established in 1974 and notes there is no website, so a visit in person is required. Visit Dublin describes nine jewellery cabinets in which pieces are arranged by colour, and states that only true vintage is sold, with no reproductions. The clothing leans toward evening and cocktail dresses made before 1960, along with shawls and stoles, beaded tops and jackets. DublinTown puts it as statement dresses for a woman of 1925 onward, decade by decade, with cases of costume jewellery that often come as complete sets of earrings and necklace with a matching bracelet. Stock changes weekly. Stylists are frequent visitors, and The Shopkeepers lists the shop in its Ireland selections for 2023 and 2024, adding that international stylists have dressed clients in looks bought here. Ball gowns are a particular strength, and the shop trades under the Jenny Vander name on Instagram.
