Handmade in bradford

This is a new shop in Bradford, which has been set up by Bradford based creative company ‘Fabric’.
The shop was opened where Zavvi used to be (and Virgin Mega stores before that), it’s a huge retail unit, and became one of the many empty holes in the city centre. I think the opening of this shop has made a big impact on Bradford, because one of the largest retail units is now open and running again.
The shop itself stocks arts and crafts made by local artists, it’s a really nice shop, it’s been fitted well and there’s a big range of stock. Some of the prices are quite high (too high for me, unfortunately), but this comes with selling art.
Because the space is so large, it feels a little empty. Once I went in and heard a couple say ‘oh it’s just a gallery’ and walked out, so perhaps it could be advertised a little better to gain more custom.
However, I would recommend this place if you like having a nosey at what local artists are producing at the moment. The majority of the stock is really saleable and I would buy a lot that they have on display if I could afford it! So definitely make a visit here if you are after a new picture for the wall, handbag, cushion or gift (it isn’t all expensive!)
