Yellow Submarine

Here was me thinking that Vintage shops were extinct in Belfast yet I have walked past four in three day, although I was in the trendy Botanic area of town. Anyway, I love a good vintage shop. My favourite shirt, a controversial plaid number was actually purchased for a tenner from a vintage shop and it’s been worth every penny. So now and again I pop in to vintage shops to see if I can grab a bargain and a new talking point
I was attracted in to Yellow Submarine by the rails of clothes at the foot of their stairs — they had hundreds of shirts for both men and women carefully colour coordinated making a really pleasent browsing experience. I then decided to pop upstair to the main store. As you walk up the narrow stairway you are presented with loads of cool retro items on the wall that help you get in to the mood for shopping vintage — I suppose those stair can be compared to Delorean.
Anyway, once upstairs you can really get looking — there’s walls of clothes for you to sift through all neatly arranged. There was the biggest choice of leather jackets I have ever seen in a vintage store and as I browsed the shop assistant busied himself arranging the denim jackets.
I noticed there was a load of old records on sale too as well as a good selection of footwear that you don’t often get in these shops.
Definitely worth visit if you’re in to retro clothing — I didn’t see any bargains in my visit but who knows, it could be your lucky day.
