Vintage Manchester

The last time I was in Manchester, I was there for a LAMDA exam and it wasn't really a big shopping day. I headed for Selfridges (how I love that store- they have Chanel) and Harvey Nicholls but didn't really explore the city. I went again today for college (not too much shopping again, another trip needed I think), and well the haberdashery where I bought my beautiful fabrics was on the same street as several vintage shops, and Fashion Pearls of Wisdom had kindly told me of some, so I had to give them some time.
I am now a complete vintage convert- Pearl, your advice has proved very dangerous to my funds. And of course going vintage is better for the environment than buying equivalent new.
I bought at two vintage boutiques. (purchases tomorrow, shops today!)
Retro Rehab was very near said fabric shop, so it really couldn't be helped, look at the lovely window display.

Next up, as recommended by Pearl, is the newly opened Cow, which apparently also has stores in Birmingham, Nottingham and Sheffield. How did I miss the brum boutique? I definitely need to go.
The dresses in the window were so incredibly lovely, and all those colourful rosettes also won me over- very Mulberry/Luella.

Even the flyer is a rosette. Fabulous.

Do you buy vintage?
