Reviews
Great vintage shop, so much variety and yet still organised with clothes separated into categories (blouses, jeans, kilts, etc.). Very wide selection of clothes for very reasonable prices, including clothes being marked down for obvious wear-and-tear. That sort of honesty is rare in vintage shops nowadays! Excellent…
