Vintage Manchester

Vintage shopping in new cities is always a lot of fun, especially when you are given a personalised itinerary complete with coffee breaks. These shops are in the Northern Quarter of the city - the creative indie hub of Manchester.

+ Retro Rehab - reworked vintage pretties in a cute lil shop with flamingo wallpaper.

+ Rags to Bitches - an awesome vintage store which holds regular sewing lessons.

+ Bread & Butter Teashop - refreshments in the cutest pink wonderland. “Chintzy” - as my gracious guide described it.

+ Blue Rinse - for retro t-shirts and good clothes for dudes. On Tib St across the road from Bread & Butter.

Too much goodness in one city block! You could seriously spend around 2 hours trying everything on and supping mint tea with the locals. At Retro Rehab I bought a beautiful reworked lace dress, a memento of a great morning out.
