The Vintage Shopping Experience in Glasgow | Style Jaunt Glasgow: Episode 1/3
Air Transat and FLARE magazine are proud to present Style Jaunt, a web series that reveals some of the world’s most exciting places to shop. This first episode of our Glasgow series is all about vintage fashion, and it turns out that Glasgow is one of Europe’s go-to places for collectors, costume designers or just shoppers who love hunting for vintage treasures.
Canadian fashion bloggers Gracie Carroll and Alanna Durkovich begin their journey in the West End district to explore some of the best places for vintage shopping in Glasgow. Their first stop is Vintage Guru to check out the remarkable collection of rare clothing finds from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Parents will love Rowdy Roddy, a children’s store selling all things vintage for kids, from clothing to toys to decorations. Located in the Merchant City on the east side of Glasgow’s centre, Niche Optical Tailor has an impressive selection of vintage frames and sunglasses.
To end this first day of shopping on a high note, the girls head back to the West End for a drink at Ben Nevis Bar, renowned for its selection of 130 single malt whiskeys from Scotland.
