St Stephen’s Day always flushes out the keen bargain hunters though many sales started even before Christmas. We have selected womenswear and menswear fashion buys at big reductions to whet the appetite. Some are the unaffordable dream buys for that special occasion when the boat can be pushed out – worthwhile investments to last a lifetime – while others won’t break the bank at prices from €18 up
