Born and Bred 60 62 Ann Street, Belfast BT1 4EG

"A quirky, artsy, heartfelt alternative to Carroll’s for interesting Irish souvenirs. They try hard to acknowledge the duality of identity in Northern/The North of Ireland and to do it with both humor and good taste."

"Cute shop with clever souvenirs and original art. Worth stopping by if you're looking for an unconventional souvenir or something more unique. Reasonable price point too!!"

"To the incredible team at We Are Born and Bred, I just wanted to write and say “thank you” so very much for taking the time to deliver above—and—beyond customer service. My husband and I were only able to make it to Belfast for a short afternoon, but we cannot wait to return again, and your kindness set the tone for a beautiful experience during our adventures in Belfast. We accidentally stumbled upon The Jailhouse and were blown away by the creativity and twists & turns that it offered, which is why we wanted to have a keepsake to bring home with us. And for you all to not only order one of the storefront prints, but also to package it up so thoughtfully and have it shipped via DHL so that we could get it in our hands before we fly back to The States just perplexes me. I wish that we could bottle up your customers service and kindness and take it with us to The States, but we will have exactly that once we hang the print in our home, every time we look at it!"

"Nice little shop. Full of gifts made in Northern Ireland. Perfect place to buy a gift for my parents wedding anniversary."

"Eclectic shop! Fantastic. It’s really hard to walk out of here and not make a purchase or two. Upstairs has art, photography and some crafts. Downstairs has cards, prints, foods, beanies, socks, household - mugs, magnets, coasters… A gift for everyone. Superb"
