This is one big Cow. Compared to this our Manchester branch is wee calf tottering around on its barely formed legs.
I dragged everyone in here, father included, and I'm pretty sure he had more fun than the mother and I, reminiscing about the good old days when he wore skinny jeans and had hair.
The selection is vast and could take all day to browse so best go in knowing what you're looking for or without any intentions of doing anything else ALL day. The vamped up shirts with studded shoulders instantly took my fancy and, although I am always put off by the increased price tag, I never seem as drawn in by the high street versions. Studs also adorn cut up Levi's, ready to be worn for both the Summer and Winter months, and modern jewellery is found set alongside vintage alternatives towards the rear of the shop. Head a bit further in and this is where you find the cheaper treasures; with a 50s themed hen do coming up next year my mother (yes, that's right, my MUM is the one going to the fun sounding hen do, not her 21 year old daughter!!) started to get inspiration from every corner, especially with the range of patterns and colours that only vintage styling seems to offer. The range of accessories is nothing to be sniffed at either - shoes, bags, fur collars - it's all here!
With it's bright yellow exterior and always memorable name I have a feeling Cow wont be put out to pasture too soon (or is that horses?) and will managed to spread its love of vintage even further across the country. read more
