Where can I get clothes that no-one else has?

Where can I get clothes that no-one else has? I hate having the same stuff as everyone else! I have been to America recently and brought some stuff back from there but I can't go there everytime I want some new clothes? I am very into the tunic dresses out at the moment. Also any ideas where I can a big black quilted bag?? Thanks xxx

You should try quirky, vintage shops. Most places seem to have them just search for them on the internet and see if there any near you. If you live neay Sheffield, Freshman's is amazing as is YoYo in Birmingham.

Vintage is your best option. I'm the same as you and hate to see someone else wearing what I am.

I've got a vintage shop directory if you tell us what area you live in, then I can tell you whats near you

Otherwise Ebay is the best place for vintage clothes.

The only other option is to learn to make your own. Patterns are pretty cheap or you could go on a course to learn. My mum's teaching me at the moment

Thanks shineybomb. I live in Ilkeston, which is in between nottingham and derby. Do you happen to know if any of these have websites? Thanks.

I can't find any shops in this book for your area but here are some UK websites (the prices are quite varied):

www.corollacream.co.uk
www.c20vintagefashion.co.uk
www.nadiascloset.co.uk
www.therealmccoy.co.uk
www.topshop.co.uk have a vintage section although I'm not sure if they have any online
www.circavintage.com
www.dollydiamond.com

But Ebay has the most variety and the cheaper prices. If you haven't got an account on there I would definately recommend getting one. It looks a but daunting at first I know but if you do decide to and need any help just let me know. Good luck
