Shops you must visit.

With the help of social networking platforms such as Twitter and Instagram; over the past few months I've managed to collect several brands which I have really took a liking to. However, I normally keep this on the down low but as I'm feeling nice I shall share with you my deeply guarded secrets. Only joking, but seriously you should save these brands to your notes on your phone or check out the websites. If you like independent clothing brands and are fond of street style/ grunge clothing - you'll love these brands... 

The Ragged Priest - http://www.theraggedpriest.com/

(Not for the faint hearted. To wear their pieces you have to be brave and have a growing love for leather, studs and denim - my fave!)

Best Leeds UK - http://www.best-leeds.com/

(This is stocked in Best which is in Leeds and also at Eric Newcastle which is a vintage shop in Newcastle. Its a mixture of branded grunge style clothing with a charity shop chic, you'll love it)

DEEP Vintage Newcastle  - http://deepvintageclothing.wordpress.com/

(Located on a cobbly street in Eldon Square, you will love this shop. Its full of vintage clothes but unlike many other vintage shops it is set out neatly and doesn't look like a jumble sale. DEEP sells plenty of re-worked denim. None like any other!)

Abandon Ship Apparel  - http://store.abandonshipapparel.com/

(I discovered this brand on Instagram and instantly fell in love. If you're anything like me and have a love for beanies, camo print or printed tees, then you're bound to be fond of Abandon Ship.)

Sik Silk - https://www.siksilk.com/

(If you're a fan of Geordie Shore you'll have probably spotted some of their gear on the cast members. This brand will be big, I promise you. Its full of basketball tops, beanies, sports gear and snapbacks. Can't wait to purchase some items from here!)
