GLASGOWOODS Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Everyone seems to be jumping on the "vintage" bandwagow these days, when most of them sell stuff about as vintage as a can of Irn-Bru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazon123 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Everyone seems to be jumping on the "vintage" bandwagow these days, when most of them sell stuff about as vintage as a can of Irn-Bru. Sheffield's vintage/antiques/retro quarter, which has recently been officially designated as such with brown signage is something to be proud of and celebrated. It is one of Sheffield's greatest assets and naysayers need to understand just what this area contributes to the city's otherwise woeful shopping offering. I can't think of a more concentrated group of high quality vintage shops in the country. I went to Portobello Road recently and thought it wasn't a patch on the Abbeydale/Chesterfield/Broadfield Road triangle. Locally, Ecclesall Road needs to up its game in my opinion...

priddypix Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well done for supporting a great charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Boomer- Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The trend is for charity shops to put "vintage" on the price tag and charge at least 10 times what the article is actually worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaliser Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I very much recommend Hop Hideout, the beer shop at Vintedge. The selection is excellent and the staff are lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PositivHypno Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It is a little sad that there is not mention about how the charity ar elderly being helped by this great link up. Vintage is a great shop that has helped lots of independents launch and has breathed life into a great building. Global brands can easily weather local criticism, economically and personally. The guys at Vintage have been criticised for using their time and energy to support an organisation whose role it is to support some of our most disadvantaged, whilst continuing to run their own business. Thanks to everyone at Vintage, you have a made a great contribution to Sheffield, I look forward to you efforts inspiring those who criticise you, choosing to demonstrate their own passions to help others by using their time and wisdom to teach us all how to support local charities in a way that is both effective and meets their own ideals.

Nagel Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's worth visiting Emmaus too, if you can find them. They have lots of donated stuff for sale - https://goo.gl/maps/SnBKe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
