Happy hunting!
Retro Rehab on Oldham Street
With its recognisable mint-green exterior, Retro Rehab remains a firm favourite for vintage shopping in the Northern Quarter. There are racks of items for £5 and even £1, and frequent sales. Who said vintage has to be expensive?
Best for: Bargain men's and women's clothing and accessories.
Cow on Church Street
Cow has branches in Birmingham, Nottingham, and Sheffield and you can buy their stuff online too.
Becky from the Manchester store told BuzzFeed Life that the vintage scene in Manchester is very influenced by the musical history of the city: "People are still passionate about bands like the Stone Roses and the '90s is a big thing for Manchester, so Cow does really well."
Best for: Denim, shoes, bags, sportswear, and cosy jumpers.
Pop Boutique on Oldham Street
Oldham Street in Manchester is home to the first Pop Boutique store, although there are now branches in London, Leeds, and Liverpool.
They stock reworked vintage pieces – perfect if vintage clothes don't often come in your size – and there's even a cafe to quench your thirst after a hard afternoon of shopping!
Best for: Men's and women's clothing, shoes, accessories, bags, and furniture.
Junk Shop on Dale Street
Junk is my personal favourite Manchester vintage shop. Jessie from Junk told BuzzFeed Life that Junk is an ethical retailer that doesn't follow trends:
"We’ve got a selection of handmade-in-Manchester pieces, using materials from recycling mills," she said. "We reuse curtains and bedsheets to make some of the dresses in store. There's also a range of Junk sewing courses – from real beginners to learning upcycling, tailored dressing and prom dressmaking, there’s something for whatever you’re interested in."
Best for: Reworked classics, jewellery, and sewing classes.
