The Collectors Centre

Oh. My. God. It’s too much to try and explain the excitement this shop gave me upon my discovery. I was having a casual browse through old Kirkgate Market and I spotted a bargain bin of second hand vintage clothing and pretty much ran straight over. Tartan pencil skirts, satin scarves, 80s bridesmaid dress — all these beautiful and quirky items were there!
I soon realised that this wasn’t the extent of the shop, on top of some of the most exquisite vintage clothing, the shop is literally full of collectables, ceramics, ornaments, nostalgia items, vintage toys, flamboyant hats and hoards of jewellery.
The lady who runs the shop is a pleasure to talk to, I had a lovely conversation with her about the 50s tea dances that she attends and where and how she manages to source all of her items. She is really friendly and not afraid to make a deal — she offered to knock off several pounds to one dress that I was looking at. I ended up purchasing the most beautiful medieval style dress for an amazing £8.
I almost kept this secret to myself, but just didn’t have the heart! Please pay her a visit — I know you’ll find something wonderful.
