We Heart Manchester!x

Hi there and apologies for the delay in this post- we've been busy little bees recently :) Being a Manchester based label we thought it was time for a quick spout about some of our fave style destinations in this wonderful city... it's time that Manchester was known for something other than football! Based right in the heart of the city centre does mean that sometimes it is easy to succumb to a little retail therapy and when there are such great hidden gems about the temptation is even greater (you know those times when you're only "nipping to the post office" but manage to come back with an absolutely essential new pair of heels) so where do we go for our fix...


At number 1 is the cult vintage shop "Rags To Bitches" selling a gorgeous selection of vintage clothing and accessories along side some beautiful "own label" pieces that they will tailor make to fit like a glove.





Then comes the fantastic Manchester Craft Centre http://www.craftanddesign.com/ which I have been a fan of since my student days- housed in an old market building it is bursting to the seams with creative talent from jewellers to fashion labels selling their wares whilst you can watch them in action.

If it's high-end glamour you're after then look no further than Selfridges and Harvey Nicks which gives Mancunians access to labels hard to find outside the capital - namely Lara Bohinc (see below) who has recently unveiled her new shoe range in HN...definite wish list items. Then of course there are the more niche boutiques such as Poshu which stocks a great range of Lulu Guinness bags and its next door neighbour Lucile- the lingerie destination with a great heritage (and some fabulous scarves!)




So whether you're looking for purse-friendly steals with a story behind them or unadulterated luxury...this shopping haven has it all- speaking of which, just off out to the post office...
