    It started in March 2005...Junk Shop burst into the UK to fill a sizeable gap in the market for fun, fresh thinking and (most importantly) affordable clothes. Soon after, in May 2006 we opened our first boutique on the Bohemian retail utopia of West Didsbury (174 Burton Road) and have been constantly spreading our branches at festivals and tradeshows since then! Over the past two years we've moved to central Manchester and been working hard collaborating with some of the best young, up-and-coming designers to bring you Sustainable fashion that's creative, playful, multi-cultural and distinctive. Having developed THREE unique labels by our own in-house design team (Junk Boutique, Jumble and Label of Love) we can guarantee constantly changing and ever evolving looks at the cutting edge of fashion. Our clothes span a range of styles worn from sunrise to sunset by Ravers, Dreamers, Schemers, Urban Hippies, Eco-Warriors, Sci-Fi Queens and Vintage Vixens alike and are now Oxfams No.1 selling Sustainable Fashion Label. In Sept of 2007 we opened a new radical space in the heart of the city. With our finger now firmly on the pulse we have striven to bring to you a completely refreshing retail experience and have attracted attention from newspapers, community projects, Manchester Council, radio and television already. The shop has been lovingly furnished ENTIRELY using recycled or reclaimed materials; suspended spindle shelving, a remoulded fairy liquid bottle counter and walk in wardrobe changing rooms are just a few of the features you'll find. An ethical and inventive shopping experience in a beautiful installation like space makes us one of the few retailers who can genuinely boast of individuality. If you feel your artwork, clothing or jewellery compliments our ideals then send us an email with pics at info@junkshopuk.com or pop in to the store in person for an informal chat, we're always eager to find enthusiastic new folk to join the Junk collective!!

About me:

Here it is, the new evolution of Junk… Starting from small seeds we have NOW spread our branches to the heart of the city (Dale Street, Northern Quarter – opposite Vinyl Exchange). Pushing up through the cracks of the pavements and chinks in the walls we've been working extra hard to bring you something visually stunning, distinct and unforgettable. As Industrial Hippies in a concrete jungle we have strived to apply green ethics to our retail manifesto and infuse enjoyment to the consumer experience. This shop has been lovingly furnished entirely from reusable materials (first discarded then reclaimed) given new life in a consciously sustainable environment. JUNK SUPER SUMMER SALE'S STARTED Bag a Beautiful Made in the Mill Reworked Vintage dress starting at £5! one its gone its gone! so get yourself down to Junk Dale Street or Junk, Burton Road and get your glad rags on! ..

    Hi

    Its another Bodog message I am affraid, but it is only to tell you that we are through to the National Final at Manchester Academy 2 on 7th February!!

    It is a bit of a school night, but it is Thirsty-Thursday, so if you can make it then that would be absolutely brilliant! There seems to be an issue with the online ticket sales, but you can get them by calling the Manchester Academy Box Office. Let us know if you have any problems.

    If it is anything like the last one, this will be such a great event and we cant wait to see you there (we have addded an album of photos from the City Final, so go have a look too!)

    Look froward to hearing from you

    Ritchie
    The Small Party

    Plus 5 TRACKS ON PLAYER FOR FREE DOWNLOAD, SO GET EM!!!!!!
    And the Ringtones are still free, so get them too!!!!
