Signs for a new shop in Nottingham city centre have appeared. Replacing the previous Braderie store, there’s a new addition to Hockley.
Argang is opening on Pelham Street after Braderie closed its doors for the last time on March 26, shutting due to low footfall, energy costs and inflation.
On Facebook, the former vintage shop uploaded a post which said: "It's been a wonderful journey. But sadly, Braderie will close for the final time on Sunday, March 26. Over the last decade, we've helped thousands of you find your favourite vintage garms and we've loved every minute of it.
"Unfortunately, times are hard for independent businesses, and like many others we've made the difficult decision to call it a day. We hope you remain passionate about all things secondhand and slow fashion. Keep supporting small businesses in Nottingham and beyond.
"They're what make a city unique. But before all that, we hope to see you in store for one last sale." In a later post Braderie said a new business called Argang Store would be replacing the shop.
Like Braderie, Argang will also be selling vintage clothing. Nearby, another city centre shop, the Thrift Store has also closed after less than a year of trading.

It was reported that on March 24 2023, a sign in the window still remains, a part of it reads: ‘Closed forever. Sorry guys, thank you to everyone who visited us.’ With stock displayed in Argang, a sign on the front door says that the shop should be opening on the first week of April.
The rest of the sign reads: 'We're looking for two staff members with excellent communication skills, a super friendly disposition and a love of vintage clothing.' The sign then goes onto urge people to email them if they're interested in any vacancies.
