Clothing included sweaters, tees, coats, a few dress slacks and plenty of jeans. Accessories were the usual belts and shoes - although the highlight was the rack of Superman socks. Nice. A 'brand sale' also had several major labels at 50% off at the same time. So, quite a good shop to check out for major deals on men's fashions.

The staff are very friendly and the owner will always take down your number, if you are after a certain type of suit that is not in stock.

The prices are reasonable, but you will obviously shell out a fair bit for a full suit.

I recently purchased a Veilance bag from the online store and it arrived with scuffs/marks on…read morenearly all outer surfaces. I can only think that this bag was on display or had not been treated carefully. This is not normal and not indicative of the material as I have handled the bag in the official Veilance store in London. I am disappointed that a £200+ tote bag should arrive in such a condition, especially since the pictures on the website did not match this. Pictures of the marks were sent over and the owner checked these before the store had agreed the return. The person I spoke to had emailled me that I should send it back and that I would be reimbursed for the bag and the postage, quote from the email "Thanks for your phone call earlier, just to confirm if you send it back via RM 1st Class Signed For and send us a picture of the receipt we will get that all refunded for you." I received a refund for the bag but not the postage. I sent in a query and was told that the bag was not faulty so there would be no refund on the postage back as the bag was not faulty. I called up and was told that there wasn't much they could do as the owner had ruled on the matter, they were reluctant to put me through to the manager or owner to discuss. I received no call back, unfortunately it appears the manager and owner lacked the ability to call me back. I am very disappointed that the shop had agreed to refund the postage and then went against their word. I'm not likely to use this store again, I went out on a limb to go with an independent but with the experience I have had I no longer trust them. I am further disappointed in spending so much on an item to get it in a poorly state and then to be told that this is normal. In addition, I let them know I would be leaving feedback of my experience and I was told angrily that I shouldn't make threats. Go figure.

It is a boutique, which can equal expensive! Obviously you can find the things they sell - such as Huf, Carhartt, Obey... Etc - on the Internet, but this is a lovely shop to 'peruse'. I need to have things in the flesh! I'm not a trusted Internet shopper. But I love coming in here even when I don't have a man to buy for! Yeah I know... Bit of loser... But that is how nice some of the things are in here! The sizing doesn't go up for people a bit bigger or taller in a few of the brands though which is a shame cos I like my tall men! They have a fab sale on at the moment, which will leave happy boys with happy pockets!

I heart Oxfam. When…read morethe Labour Party held their conference in Brighton recently, Oxfam put out a blackboard with the message: MPs - COME AND SPEND YOUR EXPENSES HERE! This cheeky humour extends to the shop's colourful window displays and the humour of the staff and volunteers that work here. As well as stocking lots of new and secondhand clothes, shoes, boots, handbags, books, CDs, vinyl and household goods, this particular branch includes one-off items of clothing that have been customized with different textiles, patches, zips and so on. Where else in Brighton could you get a blouse with a skull and cross bones AND flowers added?

Items include textiles, pottery, jewellery, bowls and vases. It has a small but nice selection and is worth a browse if you are in this part of town, or are looking for a specific fair-trade item. It's also worth a try if you are looking for a nice but unusual gift, while keeping your conscience free!

Available in a rich burgundy red or warm brown leather with interesting buckle detail, at £50. I also loved the cute accessories, particularly the leather 'flower' corsages. There's a strong element of bohemian hippy-chic here, although price tags are more designer than high street. The colour selection is warm, bright and happy; clothes are far from predictable but definitely the wearable side of quirky. It's a treasure trove for unusual detail and less mainstream looks.

The branch is in the corner of the boulevard next to the dentist and medical centre. Whilst the branch is always well stocked there isn't often a good choice of items and some of the prices are quite high. I find that the store is difficult to navigate due to the clothes rails being too close together, it feels almost claustrophobic in there and is definitely no chance of navigation with a pushchair. Whilst I continue to go in and browse occasionally when I am in the UK I very rarely find anything which I wish to buy.
