Vintage store makes move to Leeds high street

TRAD Collective are making their name in Leeds after their recent move to the city centre

TRAD Collective an award winning sustainable second-hand store, has recently made the move from Headingley’s high street to the city centre.

Sandwiched in-between some of the biggest names on the UK highstreet, TRAD Collective have made their name as the best rated vintage store in Leeds.

James Fennwick, co-founder of TRAD Collective said: “We’re the only vintage store in Leeds to have its own instore sewing studio. This means if you find something you like here but it doesn’t quite fit you, we can alter that for you.

Despite the move being mostly positive, some customers were not so happy. Grace Saunders, a regular customer, said: “I found the store when I was in Headingley and it was just round the corner. Now, I have to make a journey to it, which I will do cause I love it, but it’s not the same.”

However, for the owners of the second-hand store, buisness is better than ever as they recently were awarded Best Indie at the Smart Work Awards this year. Fennwick said: “We were so happy to finally win this awarded, we were nominated three times. Its nice that our hardwork has paid off.”

As the new year begins, TRAD Collective are looking to get their name out there with a whole avriety of new lines and innitatives to get people shopping sustainably.
