Which clothing stores do you mourn?

[Connieston]

Prompted or inspired by another thread, I miss early 2000 Monsoon for beautiful dresses, 1990s Next for work (mainly), and going back in time C&A and littlewoods for uniform and school coats (my mum bought those though :) ) and the Marshall Ward catalogue my mum used to get for summer holiday stuff.

Kaliko, East and Planet

Stirling Cooper
Cable & Co
Also not a store but.. Kensington Market, got quite a few bits from there as a teen
What She Wants (cheaper than cheap!)
Ravel - best leather lace up boots ever, never found anything to compare
Dolcis
Apple Snow

Knickerbox

Zoo

American Classics
Flip

Most of my teen clothes came from here, especially when I was a student

*. BHS for a lot of basic clothing, bedding, lighting, household stuff
*. Swan & Edgar on Piccadilly Circus
*. Austin Reed (I loved the tailored silky mid calf, sharply pleated skirts & jackets). I still have one if their "military" style suits also which I wore to my brother's wedding.

• Woolworths (I bought some beautiful peony plants from their garden department which were a triumph in my garden).

Flip is still going @alltoomuchrightnow www.flipvintage.com/about-us/ I used to go to the one in Edinburgh although I think their only store is in Newcastle now.
Having moved to Australia...I miss every UK store, clothes here are either cheap shit or expensive shit!

La Senza and Jane Norman

Morgan and Jane Norman,although you can still get JN online

Biba, by a country mile.
But also East, Coast, Kookai and Boodlams in Leeds.

Kensington market was brilliant. Afflecks Palace in Manchester is Pretty similar and still going!

I loved Tammy Girl as a teenager, and Morgan and Kookai when I was late teens and early 20s. Really miss East as well.

Also still mourning Woolies :(

Kensington market with the aroma of old afghan coat and patchouli essence. Happy memories of that one.

ah really there's still a Flip?! I meant the Covent Garden one. Newcastle is sooooo far...sigh.. need to plan a trip now!

Jane Norman is in Peacocks, at least it is in my local

Eisenegger- great for cheap tshirts/vest tops. Lots of combat trousers too.

Madhouse.

La senza- loved their deals on underwear even if their bra measuring sucked. Good for night wear too.

Wrygges

Snooper's Paradise and Kishimo-Jin, both St Albans

Mk one, bay trading, Jane Norman, kookai.

Also yes to PP I miss la senza so much they’re still online but it’s not the same

Chelsea Girl, and no RI are not the same.
Also C&A

Kookai - it was where I spent my first pay packets
Morgan - when I was slim enough to fit in the clothes !
1990s Next and Oasis. Next used to do beautiful shoes in the late 80s. All of us wore their loafers in sixth form.

Laura Ashley in the 80s and 90s when it was wall to wall sailor dresses, florals and velvet. I saved up my first wages and student grant for them to fit in at Cambridge. I wouldn't wear it now but the shops had such a lovely vibe. Now they have taken up where BHS left off

Tammy when it was in Etam.

Coats and 'ats! C&A
