I cannot recommend the Wine Buff in Cork enough. Always providing the greatest service from selecting wine for a Saturday night in, organising and hosting bespoke team building events with my work colleagues to helping me with dinner parties for friends. Katrin and Michael have fantastic wine knowledge which they are always willing to share/teach. A very special wine shop who go the extra 10 miles.

Founded by Dee Mangan in 2014, a registered member of the DCCoI and MIDI, Kinsale Leather builds companions for your everyday adventures. Our statement is allowing the simplicity of the design and the quality of the leather to speak for itself. Our overnighters, totes, backpacks and clutches have all been designed in Kinsale and handmade. The last few years have been one milestone after another with Dee being named Irish Accessory Designer of the Year for 2016, a nomination for Irish Best Young Entrepreneur, our new store and studio opening in the centre of Kinsale and the launch of Kinsale Leather in the iconic Arnotts Department Store and CREATE at Brown Thomas, Dublin. We hope you'll visit us in our beautiful hometown of Kinsale. Dee x

It was fun impromptu stop. This little Pottery Studio is right off the road. We bought a handmade souvenir to remember our trip to Ireland. the owner took us to the studio to see the kiln and set up. Im a fellow potter so i really enjoyed this.

Cork Craft & Design is a craft collective exhibiting and selling a large variety of high quality crafts all made in the county of Cork. Operating as a cooperative craft shop – staffed by the craftspeople themselves. With a large range of gifts, craft furniture and jewellery to browse Cork Craft & Design is always worth a visit. Makers come and go from the space with a rotation of stock once a month introducing new makers and new products to admire and inspire.
Reviewed By Vickycork
Fantastic collect of work by Cork based local crafts people. This is run like a co-operative. Craft standards are very high. Worth visiting on a monthly basis as crafts people change/ rotate on a monthly basis. Keep an eye out for the Home exhibition in Kinsale during craft month every August. Something for every budget and for people who appreciate skill, design and craft. If you want throw away things made in sweat shops then this isn't the place for you.
