The New Shop--Division Street

‘The New Shop’ Sheffield has quite a reputation for being home to a treasure trove of vintage shops. Last month saw the opening of The New Shop, a new store on the scene, located along Division Street, where Gstar Raw once stood. The New Shop has no affiliation with the vintage shop which had recently closed next door, ‘It’s not vintage it’s second hand’, and is undoubtedly very different from it. A bare warehouse this is not, there is no need to browse through rack upon rack of garish dresses from the 80s in order to find something that wouldn’t look completely bizarre. Nope, the shopping experience at The New Shop is quite the contrary. The shop is filled with handpicked garments, that are both unique yet wearable..and best of all, cheap! Although the owner, Paul, is new to the vintage scene, he says that buying second hand clothes is ‘exciting’ and ultimately something which has longevity, despite disputes that the scene is in decline.
