Whether you're looking for a green sweatshirt that screams "Kiss Me I'm Irish" or more traditional (and subtle) Irish clothes, the shops below have what you're looking for. They're also great places to find gifts, carrying everything from Waterford Crystal to handwoven Irish sweaters. If you're more in the mood for Irish food or beer, check out my article on Irish Restaurants and Pubs in St. Louis.
The Kerry Cottage
The Kerry Cottage has a wide range of Irish imports including Irish clothing, foodstuffs, jewelry, music and home decorations, inlcuding Waterford Crystal and Belleek China. The store is always busy around St. Patrick's Day, but also keep it in mind as a terrific place to find gifts for baptisms, first communions and weddings.2119 S. Big Bend

The Irish Crystal Company
Irish artisans are known for producing some of the best crystal and china in the world.

Catholic Supply
St. Louis has a large Irish American population, but is also home to the nation's largest per capita Catholic population. Put the two together and you get Catholic Supply. At times, it seems as much of an Irish shop as it is a religious store. You probably won't find a lot of Guinness merchandise or other party supplies, but the store does have a tremendous selection of celtic crosses, jewelry and other Irish religious gifts.6759 Chippewa
