Amaya Arzuaga is a well-known Spanish designer with more than 200 boutiques in Spain. She makes sinuous dresses and coats with spiral embellishments and draping details that always create an impact.
She is stocked in Kelli boutique in Ranelagh, which is owned and run by Kay O’Connor and Rosemary Lyons, both of whom worked with Pia Bang as buyers before setting up on their own some years ago. The shop has a mix of interesting European labels, mostly day and occasion wear, with some good knitwear and flattering jersey shapes. When either O’Connor or Lyons wear an Arzuaga coat, they say they are stopped on the street by admirers. Kelli Boutique is at 45 Ranelagh village, Dublin 6.
