In a district that’s never been short of vintage clothing emporiums, Margot & Lux is a timeless classic. Specialising in women’s wares, with a focus on quality and genuine rarity, the shop can be found nestled among some of the Northern Quarter’s finest drinking haunts and is renowned for expertly curated racks and shelves.

A charming green-fronted store housed on a historic row of low rise central Manchester terraced businesses, once inside customers can expect one of the city’s most unique retail experiences. Forget about the need to rummage, here each piece has been painstakingly chosen by expert owner Hollie Edgar and her passionate colleagues.

Emphasis placed on vintage gems and small independent brands that match the store’s overall style and ethos, including stunning accessories and shoes branded with in-house line Margot & Lux Vintage, there’s nothing here by numbers, with clientele guaranteed to get exactly what they want, even if they didn’t realise they were actually looking for it.

From mohair knit jumpers to leather coats, unique earrings to necklaces by Sandra Alexandra or bespoke homewares by Summer Morning Studios, no two visits to this corner of Port Street will ever be the same, helping keep the city’s famously stylish population looking classically, effortlessly cool. All of which is before we mention a huge range of products available to buy through the beautiful Margot & Lux website, and plans to evolve into an intimate independent department store, with the middle and top floor already earmarked for third party pop-ups, fashion shoots, and more.
