A DUNNES Stores shopper has shared her experience hunting for a viral fleece in the store that has been a huge hit with shoppers.
The retailer has been famous for it’s fleece releases over the past couple of years.
The range includes anything from block colour options to wacky prints – and shoppers love them.
Fleeces are perfect for any occasion – whether it’s the gym, for lunch or to layer up when the temperature drops while on holiday.
Now, a fashion fan has taken to social media to share a look at her experience hunting for a specific fleece.
TikTok user Zoe Simpson shared a short video to the platform for her followers.
In the caption of the video, Zoe wrote: “Me in a fleece. My hobbies include seeing things on my fyp and running straight to get them, but I’m sorry how cute is this fleece?”
At the beginning of the video, she said: “I’ve seen this fleece all over my for you page in Dunnes and I need it – so let’s go and see if we can find it.”
She then can be seen in her car outside Dunnes Stores, and she adds: “We’ve arrived at Dunnes – let’s go see if we can find it.”
Zoe then walks into the shop, and adds: “We’re in, and I’m not too sure where to look but let’s go.”
She then shows a shot of a wall with a range of different printed fleeces for sale.
She said: “There’s loads of other fleeces but we’re not seeing the one that I want.”
Then, Zoe spots the viral fleece, saying: “Wait, never mind.”
She shows a closeup of the fleece, which is blue with floral prints scattered across it.
The flowers have pink petals with yellow dots in the centre, creating a colourful look for any occasion.
Halfway down the sleeves it features a piping detail which reaches the cuff for an extra bit of colour.
This matches the piping around the collar, down the zip and on the two side pockets.
She then tries on the fleece, which looks super cosy.
Zoe then can be seen leaving the shop with the fleece in hand.

She said: “Goods secured, Dunnes is 10 out of 10.”
Viewers took to the comments section to share their opinions on the fab piece.
One person said: “Gutted we have no Dunnes in Scotland, it looks class!!!”
Another commenter wrote: “This fleece is so YOU omg.”
Someone else commented: “This was made for you!!”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
