Cork’s Miss Daisy Blue hosts warehouse vintage sale

Cork vintage favourite Miss Daisy Blue is having another warehouse clearance sale today where you’ll find the team at the River Lee Hotel from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm. These events have been a huge success with regular customers and new followers alike and have given owner Breda Casey the opportunity to showcase her stock on a much larger scale. Expect to find items from the 1940s right up to the 1980s with fantastic women’s knitwear, wool coats and sequinned numbers alongside plenty of menswear too. Mindful of prices, Casey has included rails with clothing starting at just €10 and there will be no shortage of quirky and unique items to pique the interest of seasoned vintage shoppers and new converts alike. After the event, you’ll find Miss Daisy Blue back at their usual spot upstairs at 1- 2 St Patrick’s Quay, Cork.
