Located a short four minute walk from Eldon Square is ‘Flip Original American Clothing’ satisfying every vintage lover’s heart. With clothes shipped all the way from America, Flip focuses mainly on the era between the 50’s-90’s, and shows this from the minute you step through the door.
The first thing that draws attention is the chaotic wall full of previous events and band posters. This, in contrast to the white walls, old font text and a bit of old school funk playing out the speakers transforms you right back to the 70’s.
With the average price ranging from £10-30, the company’s main clientèle focuses upon students, offering a 10% discount beneficial for both buyer and seller. This isn't the only age range the store has. With vintage fashion rising up in the market the shop welcomes the younger generation and also has a fair share of more mature customers who have been visiting for years.
One customer said that it’s a “fantastic little store full of hidden gems” which is the perfect description for this tiny treasure. Although its stock may be from another time it’s very much in the present with the development of an eBay store which will hopefully promote this deserving business into the competitive world of clothing.
