Indeed, the shop was founded by a former member of the Braderie team, and they’ve kept on many of the same suppliers, but added some new American college wear lines, too. *The name is the Danish word for vintage*. *19-21 Pelham Street NG1 2ED* *Credit [@argang\_store](https://www.instagram.com/argang_store/) & [@bhfclumberstreet](https://www.instagram.com/bhfclumberstreet/)* ## **British Heart Foundation Charity Shop** Offering everything from clothing, shoes, and accessories to books, toys, and homeware, its *range of second-hand furniture* is where British Heart Foundation Nottingham really comes into its own. If you’re looking for a bed, sofa, wardrobe, or cabinet and you’re on a budget, then this should be your first port of call. They also run a free furniture collection service, which is really useful if you’re looking to move house and get rid of a few items. *12-14 Clumber Street NG1 3GA* ## **Cow** A national vintage chain with branches in Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, London, and Manchester – as well as Nottingham – Cow now has two stores in our city centre. We'd recommend starting with the oldest one on Carlton Street to find stock from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. Their company aims to offer a *sustainable alternative to fast fashion,* and they’re udderly great at it! *3 Carlton Street, Nottingham NG1 1NL* *Credit [@cownottingham](https://www.instagram.com/cownottingham/) & [@glassonionvintage](https://www.instagram.com/glassonionvintage/)* ## **Glass Onion Vintage** Another relatively new kid on the block, having taken over one of the iconic buildings at Bridlesmith Gate earlier this year, is Glass Onion Vintage. From Y2K gems to timeless vintage staples, their Nottingham store has something for *everyone*! *40-42 Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham NG1 2GQ* ## **Hopkinson Antiques and Vintage** Hopkinson is more like a vintage and second-hand mall than just a shop. Inside, over three floors, you will find all kinds of *antiques, art, clothing, homeware, shoes, and various other oddities*. The building acts as an incubator for smaller businesses and traders like; Hops (coffee bar), Zone 21 (retro cards and games), Silver Fox (jewellery), Skellebobz (barbers), Watches In Wonderland (that's right, watches), Style Hunter (homewares) and Lulu Brandy (vintage clothing). *21 Station Street NG2 3AJ* *Credit [@silverfoxnottingham](https://www.instagram.com/silverfoxnottingham/?hl=en) & [@wildclothingnotts](https://www.instagram.com/wildclothingnotts/?hl=en)* ## **Wild Clothing** For over 40 years, this shop has stood the test of time on Broad Street. Among its rich history, actor Mathew Horne (aka Gavin from Gavin and Stacey) worked Saturdays here, and film director Quentin Tarantino once peered through the window. If you’re looking for Dickies, Doc Martens and Levi’s be sure to stop by this place and don’t forget to check out the lovely vinyl shop in the basement. *4-6 Broad Street, Nottingham NG1 3AL* ## **White Rose** White Rose is a big success story in the city after the business was set up in 2009 by two Nottingham Trent University graduates. They’ve since expanded to 15 outlets, including Derby, Leicester, and Sheffield, as well as 11 across Nottinghamshire. The two stores we’d draw your attention to in particular are WR6 (where you can find a large range of ladies' wear) and their Outlet store on Beastmarket Hill, where there’s *funky clothing for everyone*. *White Rose 6 (Ladieswear): Ground Level, 25 Long Row, Nottingham NG1 2DR* *White Rose Outlet 3 (Men's, Women's & Kids): 10 Beastmarket Hill, Nottingham NG1 6BS* *Credit [@whiteroseshopsnottingham](https://www.instagram.com/whiteroseshopsnottingham/?hl=en)* **Looking for more inspiration for the ultimate shopping day out?
