From womenswear to menswear, from vintage to brand new, Leigh’s independent shops have it all. Thanks to the town’s thriving independent business community, Leigh is home to many of the region’s most special independent boutiques. Here are some of the best, according to Yelp reviews.
Bright, bold and bursting with colour, Heatherbie is a must visit for any woman looking to make a mark with her fashion. Heatherbie prides itself on being a place for stylish shoppers to escape from the stress of the world, and despite its eye-catching clothes offers a very tranquil shopping environment. Whether you’re looking for something for a special occasion, or just an everyday statement piece, Heatherbie has you covered.
Men can sometimes be underserved when it comes to good quality independent clothes shops, but thankfully not in Leigh. The Local Merchant stocks a impeccable range of menswear spanning styles, price ranges and brands. The shop was founded in 2020 by friends, Samuel and Edward, and has already built up a strong fan base among south Essex’s better dressed men.
Boasting one of Leigh’s most breath-taking interiors, Ursula and Odette is the place to go for clothes that scream luxury. As soon as you step inside this gorgeously designed shop, you’ll be greeted with beautiful, hand selected clothes. What’s more, the shop was voted one of the UK’s top 100 independent womenswear stores by Drapers Magazine.
As the name suggests, A Touch Too Wild is where you’ll fi.
