Best Vintage Boutique?

Posted on by

As vintage geeks, we’re always looking to find the best retro and vintage boutiques. Be that in Manchester, London, Birmingham or anywhere else in the UK. We love travelling the land to find bargains and unique items and we’re always up for suggestions as to where we’ll find the best pieces. We’re pretty clued up on the North of England but further afield, we’re not as up on where to go!

We’d love to hear your suggestions as to the best spots to pick up that unique retro bag or item. To give it a start, our favourite area to shop vintage is the Northern Quarter in Manchester. There’s a couple of REALLY good boutiques that we go to regularly and recommend you do too! There’s too many to list but head down Oldham street and you’ll see them all!

Where can you suggest we go next?

Vintage Household Goods

I was in a brilliant vintage / retro shop in the heart of Manchester’s northern quarter district on Saturday and came across a great collection of vintage householdhoods and items. I fell in love with a couple and throught they’d make great accessories for home house, home or flat.

Firstly, I was lucky enough to come across a lovely vintage lamp, very similar in style to tiffany lamps. The lamp had a clear distinctive style and would complement any room with a vintage or retro feel, offering an item that is that little bit different to everything else which is currently available.

I then came across a beautiful retro candle holder! This woukd look absolutely awesome as part of a table piece and could be the great centre for your dining table or coffee table. It would go brilliantly with a couple of scented candles burning on it.

All in all I had a great trip to Manchester and cant wait to go again! They have so many great retro shops, it’s like shoppers paradise!
