Affleck’s: Manchester’s alternative emporium

Affleck’s, formerly known as Affleck’s Palace, is an indoor market catering to Manchester’s contemporary and alternative fashion scene.
It’s hard to describe Affleck’s in one sentence, so we’re going to give it a go in a full article instead. Affleck’s, which was formerly known as Affleck’s Palace, does so much in one space that you really need to visit yourself to fully understand the vibe. But what we can say with certainty is that you’re gonna love it.

Vintage clothing stores, piercing and tattoo studios, creative studios, art galleries, record shops, and more all live and trade together under this one, community centred roof. It might look like a place for freaks and weirdos but you don’t need to identify as a misfit to enjoy the clothes and art on sale, and the general vibe that emanates from each of these independent retailers. That’s something we can describe in one word, and it’s ‘joyful’.

Blue Rinse: Manchester’s go to spot for on trend vintage fashion

Blue Rinse is one of Manchester’s best vintage clothing stores, specialising in preloved, reworked, and upcycled fashion.

Blue Rinse is one of those vintage shops where you just know you’re going to find one of your new favourite pieces. Less rummaging through rubbish and way more hangers falling off your arm as you try to make it round every rail. As well as vintage and owned clothing, it reworks pieces into brand new forms as part of its upcycling initiative.

You might have seen Blue Rinse pieces in Topshop, Urban Outfitters, and even at Reading Festival. But to get a real taste of what they do it’s best you need to visit it in person. It has a second store in Leeds, but Blue Rinse vintage should be high on your list of places to visit when shopping in Manchester.
