This tiny vintage store, located inside The Lanes (on the right as you walk in the main room), is a great place to come if you’re looking for some kind of fancy dress that’s a bit different from the generic stuff you find in the standard party shops about town. I came in here looking for a top hat to wear to Carneyville — and found one, but it wouldn’t fit on my rather fat head. C’est la vie. Anyway, there are plenty of interesting bits and pieces to be found — they’ve got everything from accessories to full-​on outfits. Some of the vintage stuff is worth a look for everyday wear as well and there’s also a selection of vinyl available to riffle through if that’s more your thing. Quirky and cool — recommended.

If you’re looking for a place of sanctuary, away from the generic high street stores found in the Cabot’s Circus/​Broadmead area, come for shelter here. It’s a cute little retro vintage store, with a small selection of individual items to spice up the fashion jerseys and plain jeans in your life. Found in the entrance to Bristol’s city centre bowling alley, you could almost strike lucky with a well priced find.
There’s an especially good range of accessories and vinyl on offer here too and with a retro bar round the corner, you can’t loose.

Small vintage boutique tucked beside The Lanes bowling alley. This has an area for vinyl and then the shop has clothes on tall racks. There is a nice range of eras on show here, and very reasonable — I saw a 60s skirt suit here for £20.
Keep an eye on their website/​shop as they often hold vintage fairs here with the bigger space of the lanes available. Then shops from all over the country visit with some serious period panache.
