Déjà Vu specialises in garments from the 1950s and the Victorian era. Alongside the vintage clothing the shop also has pieces specially commissioned from recent fashion graduates of the Limerick School of Art and Design.

Déjà Vu customers are from all walks of life and may be collectors of linen or lace or just somebody looking for a unique piece of clothing. When deciding on a name for the shop, Déjà Vu fitted perfectly.
Already seen and old time feeling to it, so it was just the obvious name by the time we did open the shop.
