Love My Vintage! After struggling with confidence, I thought that finding a prom dress was going to be a nightmare, however I popped into see Emma and it was a dream!
With helpful advice and guidance I found the most perfect 50's inspired dress and petticoat. I've been in since and bought dresses for every occasion (such as parties and holidays).
Friendly atmosphere with the most fabulous ladies! Everything from repro to Vintage, love popping in to see what's new! 💖

Lovely homely shop, fabulous collection of vintage pieces and delightful staff. Nicest shop in darwen and one of the best independent vintage shops in the North. Love my pinstripe jumpsuit 😘

I'm a disabled man. I need a walking stick and an assistance dog who warns me in advance if I need to take specific medication. Upon entering the shop an elderly woman politely greeted my wife and I. I stopped just inside the door to rest and get my bearings of the shop. As I then started to move to look around the woman told me that I needed to wait outside, as dogs were not allowed. I smiled and politely told her he was a working dog and needed to be with me at all times. Her attitude then completely changed. She told me under no circumstances was the dog to go near the clothes as he might leave hair behind. Once again, but now I have to admit getting frustrated, I told her he was wearing a coat so wouldn't leave hair behind and beside which he was a poodle cross, so didn't malt anyway. At this point she became very aggressive and actually put her arm out and around me to guide me out. I said fine if you are discriminating against me because of my disability I shall leave. While walking through the door she then closed it before we had fully left catching my dogs paw making him yelp out. I shouted back in, how dare you hurt my dog. My wife stayed in and told me to wait outside. She then went on to explain to the woman and a large bearded man who had come through from the back. He went on to say that as the owner he did not allow any disabled people who were in wheel chairs or with guide/assistance dogs in to the shop. It was his shop and he could decide who he wanted in and that the law did not apply to him. My wife tried to explain the law and the fines he could receive if we pursued the matter, but he would not listen. So, if you are disabled and happen to like vintage, be warned, you will not be allowed in to this shop!!!!

I have to say, I am saddened and appalled to read your review. I have many customers who have various disabilities, including my own mother; so to say that my shop is in any way discriminatory is utterly untrue and actually slanderous. I could go through your entire story and pick holes in all the points you have made such as the dogs paw being caught in the door (impossible as we have a slow-close door which can't be pushed) which again as my customers know wouldn't happen anyway as we are not only animal friendly but also animal owners. As for being physically touched by the 'elderly' lady - she was in the back crying after you had sworn at her and become very aggressive when she had challenged your derogatory attitude towards the shop. This had come after you had announced that you were also vintage shop owners. To be honest I could go on, but I neither have the time nor the inclination. I feel sad that you feel the need to lie to this extent about my business. I am, however, overwhelmed with the wonderful response I have had from all my loyal and treasured customers - who have been left completely bewildered by your version of events.

There are some traders who believe that the middle classes with disposable cash will pay through the nose for a vintage piece, and you know what, perhaps some of them do because they're so uninvolved with vintage clothing, however as a long time collector I really get the hump when some people mark their items up to ridiculous costs, and this shop is an example of this.

This isn't a real vintage shop for fans of vintage, this is a shop for people who haven't got a clue and buy their groceries at Marks and Spencers.

Not the shop for me at all. Way too expensive, and the repro vintage is standard rockabilly tatts and circle skirts. Nothing special and not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit.

Hi Ivana, I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your visit to our shop. I too, have been an avid collector for almost 20 years and I cherry pick, clean, restore, photograph, price and display every single item myself. I feel our prices are fair and just. I also feel our selection of both vintage and reproduction pieces is comprehensive and inclusive of many different sizes, shapes and tastes. I would have liked the opportunity to speak to you in person when you visited, as I feel I could have possibly explained things a little better. It's a shame you didn't feel like chatting about it when you were here. On the whole, we seem to be doing a good job and our high level of repeat custom is testament to that. I do like to take all criticisms on board and try to learn and evolve from them, but it seems that in this instance we just weren't your cup of tea and that's just the way it goes sometimes. I do understand that not everyone can love our shop. We are a family run business and I eat, sleep and breathe this little place. It is my pride and joy, my happy place and I literally put blood sweat and tears into it. I'm not here to make a few quid, this is my life and my passion. I go the extra mile to find the right items for my customers and make them look and feel amazing. As I say, I'm sorry you were unable to experience the whole package we offer here, as we really are more than just a vintage shop. Thank you for taking the time to write a review about us though, I'd rather be talked about than be forgettable. I wish you well and if you are ever in the area again, I'd really like it if you could call in and introduce yourself and see if I can show you all we have to offer. Kind Regards Emma My Vintage

I have shopped here several times. Always been made to feel welcome and special. The owner gives her undivided attention, and gives excellent advice. Highly recommend a visit, make sure you have time on your hands as you'll want to play dress up for hours!!
