This shop has something for anyone. I can't recommend it enough. Floral dresses, retro college jumpers, patterned leggings, suit jackets and jeans, jeans, jeans! As someone who hadn't bought good-fitting jeans since the age of about 15 (I'm 18 now) I was over the moon to find a pair of perfectly fitting LEVI jeans for just seven euros.
Their interesting method of pricing is to charge per the kilo on much of their stock. Once you've selected what you want you take it to the cashier, she'll weigh it all and she'll charge you 14 euros per kilo. (happy hour is 11.00 - 1.00 on Wednesdays and the price goes down to 10 euros per kilo.)
Individually priced items are normally reasonable if not a bargain. Me and my sister spent a good couple of hours in there and it wasn't because we were trying to find something - it was because we were spoilt for choice and only had limited luggage space! But nothing is the same, several dresses appeared to have been handmade - but very well.
There were sections for men and woman, as well as accessories and shoes.
I'd recommend putting aside an afternoon to go there to give you the chance to properly root through all the racks and to try garments on so that you can appreciate it and inevitably find that great piece you're looking for.
