No 8 The Cornstore is located in Galway’s Cross Street. In business since 2009, it is a leading destination for high-end vintage clothing and pre-loved designer handbags.

The ethos at No 8 is sustainable style (slow fashion ). All the clothes and bags come from clients doing wardrobe clear-outs. The shop sells their pre-lived belongings and they get paid a percentage when the item is sold, or they can use store credit.

It is a great way to declutter your wardrobe, make some money and give an item a new home and one more spin around the block, all while being sustainable and environmentally conscious.

Pre-loved Christmas gifting is on trend right now. No 8 stocks pre-loved designer handbags and other luxury items at a fraction of the cost of buying new. All designer bags are authenticated to ensure they are genuine, so there is no chance of a fake Chanel or a Louis Vuitton here. The shop also stocks Michael Kors, Prada, Louis Vuitton, DKNY and Calvin Klein, as well as high street designers such as Coach, Orla Kiely, LK Bennett and Karen Millen.

The offering depends on what customers bring in, so you never know what you will find, anything from over the top ball gowns to Zara. No 8 currently has pre-loved sparkly dresses, occasion wear, faux furs for Christmas party season, and has just received a new delivery from Paris of vegan leather leggings, sparkly Christmas jumpers, sequin hats, and gloves and scarves to keep you warm while looking fabulous.

The team at No 8 love a good party, any excuse to dress up. They are hosting a sequins and sparkle event on Friday December 8 at 7pm in store. This is a perfect opportunity to find Christmas gifts. The team look forward to welcoming old and new customers and friends to the newly revamped store, for an evening of cheese and wine and live jazz. With 20 per cent off in store on the night and a luxury hamper to be won, it promises to be a great night. So glam up and enjoy this unique Christmas gifting experience.
