There are items pilled everywhere yet it's easy to navigate and find things- a difficult balance to achieve. And, the owner has found that balance between cutesy and chic. You don't always notice it but those little balancing acts are hard to do- so credit to this shop! The women's section stocks Marimmeko dresses in fabulous prints, Orla Kiely clothing and accessories in more great prints, Cath Kidston accessories in more great prints! Cath Kidston extends into the kid's section with her polka dots and cowboy prints. They have camper shoes for mother's and soft flannel toys for the kid's and Linum fabrics for the house. Very nice.

They person who does the buying for the Laurels is obviously into patterns, as they stock a lot of Orla Kiely stuff, Cath Kidson homeware and Marimekko clothing. Personally I find Orla Kiely patterns a bit blobby, and Cath Kidson a bit too twee, but if you like that look then this place is great. It is certainly a stark contrast to shops like Flint who go in for the 'any colour as long as it is a variation of off white' look. The stock, being branded, isn't particularly cheap (the Marimekko dresses were around £150, despite being very simple designs), but the fact that they sell lots of little bits and pieces means this would probably be a good place to look for presents for mums/kids, etc.

Excellent store if you're looking for affordable gothic/alternative jewellery and accessories. I've…read morebeen in there twice and both times bought some awesome necklaces, rings and a handbag. As I said before the prices are very affordable but the jewellery is actually really good quality, and really pretty. The handbag is also great, I've received compliments on it and so far it's lasted me almost 2 years. They also sell a few clothing items, and things like hair dye, makeup and colored contact lenses, however I've not bought those from here. Overall it's great, and the staff are very nice.

The staff are friendly, and very helpful, and I've always come away feeling satisfied with their customer service. I've bought my favourite poncho from here (a brown wool job that made me look like a jedi!) and also my favourite necklace (electric blue beads intricately strung together to make an elegant choker). If you want to check out a funky, quite unique and well established shop, then swing by here!

The store is located in the Arndale centre, with paid parking available in the car park attatched to the centre. Staff always seem friendly and helpful.
