Get great deals on vintage designer gear, reworked clothing, custom jewellery and much more.

 

We may well be stuck indoors once again, but that doesn't mean we can't treat ourselves to a bit of retail therapy. Despite their Bristol stores being closed for the time being, Sobey's are selling their extensive range online during lockdown.

 

With locations on Park Street and inside The Arcade shopping quarter, Sobey's has become something of an authority on vintage and custom-made clothing in Bristol over the years.

 

A firm favourite among the city's extensive population of fashion-conscious and environmentally-savvy shoppers, the stores offer up everything from rare designer items to quirky reworked pieces and understated hand-made accessories.

 

 

The dedicated Sobey's team do their best to source items that are in-season, unique and affordable, year-round.

 

For every pair of vintage Levi's jeans, you'll find a reworked Ralph Lauren fleece, some oversized dungarees and a collection of custom-made homeware.

 

Speaking to 365Bristol last year, Sobey's Store Manager, Hannah Sheehan, expressed a love of wearing vintage and highlighted the importance of shopping vintage in environmental terms.

 

"In today’s climate," she explained, "in terms of sustainability and being environmentally-friendly, it’s really important to buy vintage.” Read the full feature here.

 

Unable to trade in-store for the foreseeable future, Sobey's have shifted focus onto their online community, sharing fashion tips and selling a wide range of items across their social media channels.

 

If you need a pick-me-up during lockdown, find Sobey's on Facebook, Depop or Instagram and see what's up for grabs.
