Interesting little place, this one. Basically its a second hand bookstore, and unlike most of the…read moremodern book stores, its feels like and old fashioned book sellers, and even has the smell of an old fashioned book store too. There are plenty of books on display - so many that you may find it difficult to find anything you're specifically searching for, and many of the titles are the older titles. While there are some more modern (ie - published in the last ten years or so) titles on offer, the majority are older. There are both literature and reference books on sale, in varying degrees of condition from good to just about acceptable. In addition to this, there are also a range of comic books and old magazines (a wide range of titles such as murder casebook for example, if thats your thing) and they offer a title search service to help you find a specific title which they might not have in stock. On the downside, it usually looks a little untidy in there with piles of books on the floor. The big 2nd hand places in London and so on look much tidier, and quite a few of the books on sale are expensive to say they arent of any real value and in sometimes poor condition, but its worth a look if you're in search of something specific or even just browsing for a casual read.

Finding a, um, 'Space', like this in Harrogate was a pretty strange experience really. Like walking…read moreon the moon. I saw it as I walking by and gravity went from underneath me, I got all bouncy in my step and bounded in - eager to forage for some vintage delights. Bargain vintage delights. In Harrogate? This is new. I didn't find bargain vintage delights. Rather expensive vintage delights. Very expensive vintage delights. You want £28 for a set of old cups? Oh right, I see. You're really vintage. Oooh. Oooooh. A new oooooh. You've got copies of The Face. I was never a cool enough early teen to be into The Face. I wish the face still existed. Oooooh. There's a copy here with The Strokes on the front. You want a fiver for it? Not a quid? Ah. Right. This place knows it has novelty value in Harrogate. And while it might spout about being an independent collective of vintage 'retailers', what would be a very enjoyable haberdashery of all nice, cute old things comes off feeling a bit too retail-based. We'll see how this one pans out.

The interesting bits you used to find in charity shops find a home here and the place does well. What's more the really knowledgeable guy who runs it is a great to spend some time with as he comes across a great deal more than can fit onto this Tardis-like shop. It's a wonderful place to browse in, but, as another reviewer said, don't expect charity shop prices as a lot of this stuff is now quite hard to find, and is priced accordingly.

I'm like some kind of beagle for old. Anyway, here it is. In the mini labyrinth of the old Merrion market, where foot fall seldom falls but for the odd parker who's swfitly moving on to the main meat of Leeds' shopping, there stands a quirky stall-come-shop called Antique Boutique. I'm not even sure how I found it, I believe my friends and I were in search of a café we'd heard tell of, and stumbled upon this place whilst navigating out. At first glance it appears to be a fancy dress shop, but a closer investigation of the large shop window reveals that there are vintage treats to behold as well. Of course, I went in for a nosy. It's a long thin structure, packed to the rafters with bits, and doubles up with costume, fancy dress knick-knacks and vintage clothing. Tights, the odd hat and wig, fluorescent items, and more adorn the counters whilst the larger items are hung asunder - hinting at potential outfit building. There are knits, medieval style dresses, seventies prints, tiny waist coats for wee boys, lace jackets and scarves. All manner of things and a good long browse is required - to those who both do and don't know what they're after. I walked away with a joyful rust coloured knit body warmer, for a mere fiver, and the lady was both pleasant and willing to help if I'd needed. All in all, if you're in to your quirky stylings, antique-feel clothes and a right good rummage through the jumble-jungle, this is the ruddy place. A fabulous little shop and well worth checking out by all official magpies!

Ingeniously situated in one of Leeds' most bohemian and effortlessly cool areas, Hyde Park, Retro…read moreBoutique provides customers with vintage items from many eras with which to wear and furnish. Like any retro shop, you have to root around for ages before you find anything worth buying, and sometimes you won't find anything worth purchasing at all. There are heaps of clothes on offer, but they are more geared towards women than men, which is a bit disappointing if you have a Y chromosome. Unlike most of the other vintage shops in Leeds, however, this place does offer plenty of quirky items of furniture as well as its clothing selection. So if you're a woman, or in need of some bizarre bric-a-brac, I'd recommend Retro Boutique. If, like me, however, you want to find a 1980s Adidas tracktop, I'd recommend Blue Rinse in town.
