Monday, April 19th, 2010Affleck’s Palace -For an interesting mix of sleek yet rustic, modern yet retro
A wide selection of tattoos, piercing, metal-studded and spiked accessories belonging to retro, punk style and experimental fashion, can be found at the Affleck’s Palace, in Manchester. Anyone would be delighted after a shopping experience at this shopping complex located at the junction that joins Church Street and Tib Street with Dale Street and Oldham Street in Nothern Manchester. This store has a collection of alternative and Gothic small chain boutique stalls, and punk-style shops that can attract people who fancy the styles of the glamerous 70’s and 80’s. The avante-garde shopping complex which brings into memory an exotic bazarr was founded James Walsh and has has glamourized Manchester since 1982.
Situated in an area which is conspicuously inspired by bohemian creative qualities, the Affleck’s attracts an electric crowd of shoppers and browsers everyday to look for a pair of flared jeans or big frames sun glasses, a piece of jewellery featuring the Swastika or a pentagram worth collecting. This will be the perfect place to shop for a person who appreciates and adores the booming musical, cultural and fashionable eras of late 70’s and 80’s. Since there is a group of phenomenally successful young entrepreneurs who create and display their own designs, visitors can expect to get great value for money. Anything from second-hand clothes, “laid back” gear, hairstyling, jewellery, anything to do with the occult and rare and old records which belong to the bygone booming eras can also be found here. The four storey complex is literally a fashion incubator which offers a new and unique experience for buyers.
Shopping at Affleck’s shopping emporium can never be boring. It is open from Monday to Saturday and is closed on Sundays. After shopping or spending time leisurely browsing the superfluities available at the Affleck’s, drive to the Copthorne Hotel Manchester. The main railway station and roads are close at hand to this Manchester hotel, while there is just a 20 minute drive to the airport. The hotel can be located on the waterfront at Salford Quays and guests also have the benefit of having time to kill at the Manchester United Football Club Museum, the Trafford Centre and many other museums, theatres and shopping malls which are situated nearby.
