AN IRISH BOUTIQUE has released a statement after claims were made about its products and service on an anonymous Instagram page that has 193k followers.
The company, which has outlets in Malahide, Dublin and Cork, sells women’s clothing in its store and online.
This week, multiple claims were made about the cost and quality of the items and about alleged customer service experiences at the store. They were made on a hugely popular Instagram account run by an anonymous person based in Ireland.
Some of the claims were in relation to where the items sold by Cari’s Closet were sourced.
In response to the negative comments, Cari’s Closet said in a statement:
Cari’s Closet wishes to acknowledge the recent claims online to the store. We manufacturer [sic] our own clothes for sale in our stores and on our website in factories China and through wholesalers.
All our clothes that we retail have Cari’s Closet labels on them. We do not buy clothes for retail in our stores through any online websites.
We have worked hard over the last six years with our team to build our business.
We started out as a rental store for the first three years, but we now only sell our own label.
Our customers are important to us and we deal with all complaints we get individually.
The company said it could not comment on any potential legal action.
The Instagram page in question bills itself as a page which highlights behaviour by bloggers, influencers, and companies.
Over the last few days, it has posted two Instagram posts featuring comments from people who say they were customers of Cari’s Closet and that they were unhappy with the service they received.

They realised they were in Roscommon
@Brian Buckley: yeah. Seems the idea of being on Roscommon is so unappealing that they’re not even having the talk about it anywhere near Roscommon. They’re going to Kilkenny instead.
What about water charges. USC and property taxes !
Roscommon is a beautiful county with plenty to see and do. People should visit and see for themselves before judging.
@Roisin Carty: what is to see and do?
@Roisin Carty:yea, theres the field, the holy stone of clonrichert, the very dark caves….
@Roisin Carty: I love lough key forest park, there’s a zip wire network set up there that’s so much fun, spend the day on the ‘assault’ courses and I tried the Boda Borg thing before too (think Chrystal Maze puzzle rooms) and the grounds themselves are beautiful. Looks like visiting rindoon is now on my list of places to visit
@Roisin Carty: I was in Westport last week and headed for Donegal. Missed a turn and ended up in Roscommon. It was grim to say the least.
Tulsk reminded me of the village in the League of Gentlemen, Royston Vasey.
“the local land owner is supportive of the extensive conservation work”
Nice to see.
Must go for a look.
Was it because of poor broadband coverage ?
This would make an excellent Time Team episode
@Daniel Wilson: Nah, they would have to discuss the English policy here that lasted for centuries were the homeless Irish were killed because they were homeless, ethnic cleansing for travellers and the homeless.
Probably abandoned due to delays in the Shannon drainage scheme.
Because they all headed to Galway
@David Cloherty: on a stag. Shop street has them now.
@David Cloherty: To Hell or to Galway lol.
High unemployment?
St John’s Primeval Natural Oak Woodland( the only one in the country ) is beside it so there ! So get down there before it all goes belly up from Leo’s “republic of opportunity ” the race to the bottom etc
Must have been lost first day,wouldnt visit there at gunpoint
what is so unusual about a deserted Irish village,most of them are.!!!!
