“This outfit is not online but is in stores.”
Mon captioned the post: “Warning. These are not online anymore but some stores have them.
“I wonder why they are not online anymore, maybe @dunnesstores can give us an idea because these pieces are beautiful. And a lot of people buy online only…”
The Gallery Leopard Print Wide Leg Trousers are sadly no longer available online, but some lucky shoppers have been able to find the item hidden in the racks in store.
The stylish trousers retail at just €30.
An official description reads: “Featuring an elasticated waistband with drawstring, two pockets, and a flattering wide leg, these leopard print trousers will never go out of fashion.
“Pair with your favourite t-shirt for a look you will love, season after season.
“Gallery is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
And that’s not the only leopard print item from Dunnes Stores that’s had shoppers going wild.
The new Gallery Leopard Print Bomber Jacket is available online and in shops around the country.
Its ideal for chilly weather and features a casual bomber shape, a bold leopard print, and buttons down the front.
Fashion bosses called the look “a classic”.
An official description of the item reads: “A classic with a modern twist.
“Designed in a classic bomber style, this leopard print jacket from Gallery features a round neck, discrete side pockets, distressed metal buttons, and an elasticated hem and cuffs.”
The gorgeous jacket can be snapped up for €35 but there’s a major drawback – like the trousers, the item is no longer available online.
But hopeful shoppers should keep an eye out in store as they might be able to find it on the shelves.

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.
