I think this little shop is so useful! It's tucked away near the library, and offers a fantastic service - basically it's an old-fashioned dress agency where you can take in your unwanted clothing (excellent condition only), and you'll get a percentage back when it sells. From a buyer's point of view there are rich pickings of designer and top-end high street fashion, bags and shoes for women and children, at excellently competitive prices. It's always packed full of stock and well worth a rummage!


The lady who runs the shop is really friendly and helpful and will offer fashion advice if asked, and there's also a box of toys to keep children entertained. Well worth a visit especially if you have children as you'll be able to pick up some beautiful bargains for them at a fraction of the new price.

I know the lady who own this shop and she has been running it for many years now. It's basically a second hand shop, but it only sells really good quality clothes. It's quite a small shop, but it does stock quite a bit and it also has a changing room. As a customer the prices are pretty good (as they're second hand clothes) and you can pick up some good bargins. If you're looking to make money, you can take your clothes here (and providing they are good quality) you will get part of the money that the clothes are sold for. However unless things have changed in the last few years, you don't get the money until its sold and she doesn't accept things which she doesn't feel will sell.
