Our new charity shop in Far Gosford Street is officially open and full of vintage, retro and quirky finds ready for the Bank Holiday weekend!
So whether you’re into vintage clothing, are a collector of vinyl records or lust after retro homeware , the shop’s Manager and Assistant Manager, Angela and Joe, are ready to welcome you!
Myton’s Director of Income Generation, Charlotte Ingram, and Community Engagement Manager, Olivia Bowskill, did the honours with an official ribbon cutting to mark the opening on Thursday 24th August at 11am.
Myton staff, trustees and eager shoppers were welcomed to the brand new store with macarons provided by Fargo Village’s Choc ‘n’ Roll.
The new shop is the first of its kind for Myton with a strong focus on vintage and unique items in an area of Coventry which has become renowned for its edgy vibe and businesses which stand out from the crowd.
The first items to be bought from the shop included a vintage Yves Saint Laurent three piece tweed suit, a set of Italian cocktail glasses, a seven inch vinyl single of Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ and some Levi jeans.
