The 30 Best Timeless classics in Manchester

“Fantastic professional service received yesterday by Chris. My Husband hates shopping for shoes as he has little patience trying on shoes that rarely fit him from the usual High Street stores. He needed a new pair of Brogue Shoes and he had observed the staff from outside this store attending to a customer and he had been in to the store and was very impressed. After almost an hour, of trying on shoes, we eventually found the right shoes, with fitting and expert advice from Chris. My Husband was very happy with his birthday present of the Loake Edward Brogue Shoes in the beautiful Mahogany colour. We will definitely be back for another pair of shoes or boots as this experience was well worth the trip in to Manchester. Please keep up your good work and your exceptional service.”

“Dealt with these guys over the weekend and their service was top notch. From the moment of first contact over social media to dealing with them face to face they were nothing but efficient, professional and full of knowledge. Thanks again and can't wait to deal with you guys again for my next purchase. I would recommend anyone to use Lost In Time Jewellers who wants high quality watches along with high quality service.”

“I had a lovely experience at H. Samuel’s in Manchester. I was visiting with a friend and I’d been looking out for a new watch and I found one here that was a little different from what I was used to but Steven (with a V) was very friendly and helpful. I decided to purchase the watch and Steven kindly adjusted it twice by removing links to fit my wrist perfectly. I’m very happy with my new watch and the service I received !”

“Had knowledgeable staff and all the supplies I needed for a cigar social with friends. Was able to by Asylums there”

“Very efficient service and top quality stock. The seller goes above an beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.”

“Just another great experience, if you are buying for quality and service, going to Bud at Si Vis Amari is a must. He works around all requests, and budgets. Great suggestions, and advice. Very highly recommend him, got engagement ring and wedding bands through him.”

“Great shop! Some really nice 90’s sportswear pieces in here. Fair prices and a friendly shop owner. If you’re looking to cop some vintage Nike, carhartt, Levi’s etc this is the spot! Will 100% return.”

“Very nice mill shop selling finest cashmere and woollen clothing and accessories.”

“Beautiful shop filled with stunning furniture. We bought a gorgeous 60s teak easy chair with mustard yellow upholstery. It is perfect for our living room and is so comfy. I always take a peak in when passing by as they have absolute gems.”

“The product for the compnay is hight quality and resonable price. The team response is very professional and immediately. I am very satisfied with the delivery terms and i would personally suggest to have an experience of purchasing. I personally can assure you will not be regret. Best luck and wishesh to Arya Company.”

“Excellent choice for men and women and I've been introduced to some great new brands via OTGS. I've had a couple of things delivered too and I don't know how they get it packaged and sent so quickly. This is a real boon for Stockport, and would recommend everyone to pop in when they get chance.”

“Rowan a great guy known this for years just been to his new spot in saddleworth after not seen him in a while. As always on point helped me pick out an outfit. As always top laugh. Great to see him will drop in again when in the area. Room 14 great shop, great deals, great owner, great atmosphere. Place to go for your clothes and a laugh. Thanks again Rowan all the best. Vitesh and Louise.”

“John Douglas menswear in Macclesfield was for several decades the go-to choice of my father and subsequently for me. Albeit these days, in my 70s, I have little call for smart formal and casual outfits. But I recently needed a smart suit as a matter of urgency and found one at John Douglas with David's assistance. For a perfect fit, David expertly assessed the necessary adjustments required to waistband and trouser length and had the suit ready for collection first thing the following morning. A level of service I could not have obtained elsewhere. A business gem.”

“I have been shopping here for years.you are made to feel welcome from your first visit.your quality purchased items are perfectly packaged with love.see you both soon ×”

“Absolutely phenomenal customer service from Matt and Andrew! I bought a belt from Dorothy Evans & Scott, and after a month realized it was too short. Despite the time passed and not having the original box, they kindly exchanged it for a larger size at no extra cost—shipping included! They were incredibly responsive, kind, and made the entire process seamless. Great selection of products too. Highly recommend!”

“I wanted to hate this shop so bad, ‘cos the shop that was there before was so good. The gear in here is INCREDIBLY well-curated. In an age of internet shopping BS, it’s wonderful to just go somewhere where every single piece of clothing has been so carefully vetted before they deem it worthy of a hanger. I still talk about the green cardigan I DIDN’T buy, but wish I had…”

“Received a first class, professional service from Pied a Porter-thank you so much. The course of treatment ran very smoothly and they were super helpful with liaising with our medical insurance company.”

“They are very successful at their jobs. A high-end and quality company. I advise.”

“Friendly professional service from Brian. Kept us informed every step of the way with updates on our carpet order. Bedroom carpet fitted quickly and to a high standard. Many thanks.”

“Sharlene is absolutely brilliant. She’s painstakingly renovated and reupholstered treasured old furniture and it’s really quite emotional! I am really glad I’ve done this; it’s excellent value for money and really great to repair rather than buy new.”

“I had a chain that needed a new bolt ring. It was done whilst I waited and at a very good price. Great service and lovely, friendly staff. Would highly recommend.”

“Rosie Kent is my favourite jeweller and go to every time I want a new piece to update my collection. Her collections are always beautiful and thoughtfully designed making it very hard choosing which piece to get because I want them all. Alongside her seasonal collections Rosie Kent also works on bespoke projects and I used this service when getting my wedding ring designed and made by her. Not only is she a very talented designer she is also great at listening to what you need so know that your project with her will be a special experience!”

“Lovely experience designing a ring from my mums and grandma’s jewellery. The care and attention to detail was excellent. I am so pleased with the ring it’s beautiful. Thank you to Ian and the team I cannot recommend their family business enough.”

“Would recommend this shop to anyone. It is a great jewellers. Have been to another place the owner had before this shop to find my granddaughter a bracket and got a perfect 1 for her that has a butterfly on it absolutely perfect. So when my daughter wanted a bracelet for her birthday then we wanted to go to the same jewellers so we went to his new place and it was definitely worth the trip. She looked at some that were on display then asked to look at a couple and was shown them and got passed the 2 she liked too have a closer look. She chose 1 of them so both times I've been they've had exactly what I have wanted.”

“The customer service was top-notch - super helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend!”

“Plaza sells fabulous quality jewellery. I have purchased a number of items over the past few years and I am always pleased with the service received from Charlotte and Chris. They both have a keen eye for finding interesting pieces in excellent condition. I saw my recent purchase on their website, a pendant, it looked so lovely in the photographs, which are always clear with multiple shots of the item. When visiting their stand in Harrogate, I was pleased with the quality and the colour of the central stone. I have purchased from their website and the item arrived beautifully packaged and fully insured. I will always recommend Plaza to family and friends.”
