The Mad Ones 3.45

New and Vintage Fashion that aims to be different! Expre">The Mad Ones - Our Story

The Mad Ones originated as a past time pop up shop last summer and due to the amazing response we have decided to set a permanent home in The Latin Quarter (Killarney Rd.), Castleisland. ‘The Mad Ones’ project has been a hive of positive energy since it began and this was certainly to the fore last Saturday when there were 15 girls, The Mad Ones themselves plus close associates, planning, painting, wall papering, constructing and filling what was once an empty shell with palpable enthusiasm.

The name is inspired by the infamous Jack Kerouac quote ‘the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.’ One needs only to ease drop on any one of our several conversations on planning and scheming for the future to see how apt this particular quote is.

There is a distinct chilled out vibe at ‘The Mad Ones’ with records spinning and coffee brewing while shoppers browse through the collection of clothing. It acts as a place of conversation for like-minded people, acting as a hangout with discussions happening as clothes are tried on and put together in various ways. These pieces vary from one off vintage items to new in vintage style, bohemian inspired clothes. The Mad Ones aim to stand out from the crowd and bring out each person’s unique sense of style.

For Tara, Kate and Noreen (the owners) this shop began as a hobby, where they got to spend time at something they are passionate about. They hope that they make can get lots more people to fall in love with the clothes that they wear everyday. As well as that if there are any specific pieces that you would like them to source they will do their best to find them!
