Here’s Our Favourite Vintage Shops In Sheffield

Sheffield is a vintage lover’s dream.

At a time where more people than ever before are turning to vintage as the source for their next wardrobe additions, there’s no better place than Sheffield to get thrifty. More and more young people are frequenting small local vintage shops in place of bigger chains in a bid to be more eco-friendly and to seek out original, authentic clothing at quality prices.

We are more willing than ever to wear pre-worn clothes to rep a retro aesthetic whilst simultaneously doing our bit for the planet by reusing clothes that would otherwise be wasted and reducing production rates of new clothes.

Sheffield itself is a renowned student city with two large universities, generating a high demand that the city centre duly satisfies. More than any other city, Sheffield boasts a breadth of vintage shops all within walking distance of each other, making it a retro fashion hotbed. Here are our favourite vintage shops that are certainly not to be missed.

1. Cow

Whether you shop in-store or on the Cow website, Cow’s range and quality means you won’t be far from finding the next fashion trend and keeping in the loop with all things vintage.

2. Vulgar

Far from living up to its name, this quaint little number is a vintage shop with character that aims to ‘work relentlessly to offer the best and the bang-on’est of Vintage Fashion.’

Whilst not a shop in itself, the vintage kilo sale, often held at the University of Sheffield Student’s Union, is unbeatable for value, as the price of the vintage is derived purely from its weight.
