The 30 Best Timeless pieces 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.”

“Excellent customer service , staff take time to know about you before making your purchase .”

“I went in for some earrings for a present and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. I found the perfect pair and the price was brilliant.”

“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 !”

“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.”

“my partner and I went to the ‘make a ring in a day’ class with Gemma and it was great and very fun. she did a great job teaching us about the process and we love the rings we made. highly recommend”

“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.”

“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.”

“Absolutely brilliant customer service and exceeded our expectation. Big thanks to Neve. She was very kind, helpful and professional.”

“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.”

“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 ×”

“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…”

“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.”

“Can’t recommend Jonny highly enough! He did an absolutely fantastic job on the sliding wardrobes he made and fitted recently. Professional, easy to work with, very helpful, talented, skilled and experienced as well as competitively priced. He did a wardrobe for us over 10 years ago and kept his number and thoroughly delighted with the second lot of wardrobes. Thank you so much Jonny.”

“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.”

“Got my mum a fossilised coral ring for her birthday, she's very into fossils and loved the ring, great craftsmanship and a lovely bit of coral! Came packaged really nice and neatly with a nice ring box to go with it. Ready to give to her straight away as a gift. Communication was very easy and helpful from a very nice and genuine man! Would definitely order again!”

“Amazing service with amazing results. As soon as I met Bud I knew I had chosen the right person to help me decide on the right ring for my partner. Upon our first meeting he patiently covered all of the different options and routes we could take the design, efficiently narrowing it down to a style that is perfect for my partner. At no point did I stressed or under pressure to overspend, it was in fact a pleasure to meet someone as passionate about their work as Bud is. I cannot recommend Bud enough and my fiancée absolutely adores her new engagement ring. We will almost certainly be coming back for our wedding bands in the future. Thank you again for everything, Jon & Heather”

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

“I cannot thank these guys enough! They have created the most perfect engagement and wedding ring set for me for my 10 year anniversary. Nothing is too much trouble for them, the coffee is great and is ALWAYS served with a tray of chocolates! A warm, welcoming, friending service every time, and they even polished my Rolex for FREE! Highly recommended xxx”

“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.”

“I've purchased a number of times and each time the purchase has been seamless. Clothes are exactly as advertised and arrive promptly. On occasions where I have had queries I have used the online chat service and have received a speedy accurate response. I am a regular on this site and will continue to use and recommend. They are my go to place for Asian outfits of top quality brands.”

“I have worked in the kitchen industry for over 15 years myself and have become very particular about what i wanted for my 'dream' kitchen. I can say that Daniel Scott delivered everything i expected. If you are looking for a true in-frame, bespoke kitchen which is timeless in it's design and will stand the test of time with the quality of workmanship you will really narrow down your options of who can really deliver this. Daniel Scott did not disappoint and were on-time and on-budget. My kitchen has been fitted for over a year now (yes apologies it took so long to write my review) and it still looks brand new. The quality, craftmanship and the installation process were all to a very high standard, everything feels very solid and smooth. If you are opting for a true in-frame kitchen, by definition they are not cheap, but i definitely feel i got great value for a top quality kitchen. The beauty of this type of kitchen is the timeless design and high quality materials, when it needs updating i will just have it painted another colour. I would highly recommend to anyone.”

“Designed a bespoke engagement ring for my girlfriend which was beautiful. Fantastic service throughout the design phase and kept me informed on progress throughout. Wont hesitate to use their services again! Cannot speak highly enough.”
