I only ever bought one dress from Phase Eight, but I usually always love their lines. So it was a…read morehuge surprise to find out that their "target audience" were ladies over 55 y.o. Not that I have no faith in those 50+ daredevils, but it is unfair to deny that younger generations have nothing to bring home from PE. The linen dress in question was purchased in Phase Eight's boutique in King St, and I have enjoyed my visit. I thought that the floor was planned rather nicely, while the fitting rooms are located on the podium. No matter how popular this boutique is, with such space planning there is no chance customers can feel crowded. Phase Eight is by no means cheap, but it finds a good balance between price and quality. I would definitely buy clothes there, although I am not so sure about either footwear or accessories. Not that they are bad, but they don't have the kind of edge I am looking for.

I ADORE this shop! I'm a sucker for designer bags (don't judge me..) but can't always afford to get…read morethem new, designer exchange sells pre loved bags and accessories at a fraction of the original price. Some of the bags are literally as good as new. The older the collection the cheaper the price usually (unless it's Chanel...of course). I'm not bothered about the 'latest season' look, I look for quality, design and craftsmanship so this place is heaven for me. They also buy directly from customers. All bags are checked for authenticity so you can rest assured you're buying a genuine item. The staff couldn't be nicer, and they're not pretentious or overbearing so I often just go in for a browse without any pressure to buy. Golden purchase - a hand embroided, leather Dior bag. As good as new. Originally sold for $1700, bought for £90. Can I get a hallelujaH?!

Situated in on the second floor of alternative department store Afflecks Palace, Zeffa offers what…read moremust be the largest selection of vintage leather jackets. Unlike other fabric, leather doesn't just get old, it develops a beautiful patina rich adds to the look of the jacket. However most us don't want to spend fifty years breaking in their leather. Picking up a retro number from Zeffa will not only see to it that you save a small fortune, it will also mean you get a jacket that allows you to skip to year 51!

I found an amazing leather jacket here. If you are prepared to rumage for an hour or so you can…read morefind an absolute bargain. I am sure you can barter on the prices a little and the staff here are sooo friendly. Forget topshop/ new look/ miss selfridge and get down to zeffa before winter sets in!

I called in Superdry on a recent trip to Manchester, to return a coat I had ordered online to…read moreexchange it for another size, having spoken to Superdry over the phone, telling me I could do this. This store is reasonably large, and follows the standard Superdry layout, and is located inside the old HMV space in the Manchester Arndale, close to Costa Coffee and Sports Direct. The store was quite noisy with the music playing, which I found to be off-putting and not something you want to listen to while shopping, although I do understand they are trying to make it more of a cool, exciting place for their target audience, but it certainly does the opposite for me. (Although the music situation is not as bad at some branches of Nando's!) The checkout was hard to find, but luckily a member of staff helped point me in the direction, it took a while to process, which I didn't really like, considering it was just upgrading a size of the same coat. Superdry have paper bags, so it means if you need a bag, you don't have to pay a 5p charge for them. The range here is good / average, although I can't fully comment on this as I did only go looking for one particular item, for my exchange. Overall this is a nice store, but due to some flaws mentioned, I can struggle to give it more than 2 stars. (I find the look / layout of Superdry stores to be horrible as well! They are a little dark, and narrow in some areas due to the tables / stands they have!)

Just so you're all aware, I'm hitting the keys really hard right now…read more This annoying little brand with its back of the shoulder logos has really begun to agitate me lately. Not only is it EVERYWHERE but it is smug about it. Years ago it was OK- standard studenty stuff. But now it's got all ahead of itself and found it's way into every 18-40 year olds wardrobe whilst also deciding that it is some kind of designer label. It's blandedised togs wouldn't be so bad if they were actually cheap but it's all so ridiculously pricey for what it is. Students look the way they do because they're skint- there's no need to be remortgaging to get the look you idiots!

I have absolutely no concerns over the quality of the ladieswear on sale at Bayliss & Knight, my…read moreonly concern is whether Manchester can up its game enough to provide a setting glamorous enough for it! Seriously, seriously lavish stuff, stepping in this store is like stepping back into the art nouveau world of the 1930's! From cocktail dresses to corsets to evening and ball gowns, this place is like a Hollywood golden age memorial site. Shrinking violets need not apply!

Baylis and Knight sell glamorous and classic outfits for women inspired by the 1950s and there is a…read moretalented team behind these creations. However I have my reservations about this shop. The outfits sold here could easily be perceived as being a little tacky dare I say it. The collection I think this most applies to is the lace collection in pink and black. There are other collections that are classic and the staff are more than willing to listen to your suggestions. Just not sure if this is one of my favourite independent shops in Manchester.
