A huge new city centre treasure trove of vintage garments and reworked items has been causing a stir on social media. Bare Necessities, located just opposite the Arndale Centre on High Street, has been attracting TikTokers and influencers from around Greater Manchester for all the right reasons.
For fashion-lovers and the eco-conscious like, the shop is a dream come true. Upon entry you'll find piles upon piles of vintage clothes, cheap prices, new deliveries every day, funky crocheted blankets...sorry, where was I?
Buying second-hand is in - and it's easy to understand why thrift shopping is so appealing. Awareness of the detrimental impact of fast fashion on our environment is growing, and, coupled with the current cost of living crisis, this chain of stores is capitalising on the compelling reasons to ditch traditional retailers in favour of those selling pre-loved garments.
