Cleaning up the ‘Junk' in Manchester's retail scene

One of Manchester's retail favourite 'Junk Clothing' are masters of sustainable ethical

fashion and can turn almost anything into a fabulously on-trend piece of beauty. The shop based in the Northern Quarter is kitted out in weird and wonderful recycled fittings, all adorned with reworked vintage clothing and materials that they have helped save from landfills by using just a little bit of imagination and some nimble green fingertips.

To help revive the crumpled and forgotten items hidden at the back of your wardrobe (yes, we all have them!) Junk have shared some of their top tips that'll have you saving your pennies and looking fabulous in no time.

Tie-Dyeing is the Hippies favourite and massively on-trend. Just add dye, elastic bands and salt to your old T-shirts or dresses and tie dye them to create that 60's bohemian vibe.

Distress your old denim is easy to do yourself. You can slash, burn, bleach or even take a cheese grater to your denim jeans/jackets to create that young ones look.

Take a plain garment and jazz it up by adding or changing buttons, applying appliqu or clip on handmade rosettes or a fancy trim.

Reworking the hem is often a popular with vintage dresses giving you the look dated, by sewing some elastic round the hem and pulling it higher, a rouched tulip skirt effect can be created or take a long dress and cut it to make a gorgeous mini.

Create your own prints can be very rewarding if you're a budding illustrator or if you've just found an image that you really like then pop it onto iron-on paper by using a standard printer and apply your favourite prints to anything from jackets to shirts and dresses, it will make you stand out in Manchester's lovely bars.

If all of that crafty action leaves you with itchy fingers and hungry for more wardrobe revamping ideas, then Junk have plenty more where that came from. Head along to their shop on Dale Street and have chat with their super friendly staff.
