truve

This is a lovely little shop that offers something a bit different. Truve sells ladies clothing and accessories that the owner has hunted out from second-​hand shops and online vintage sources. This may make it sound a little ramshackle, but I can assure you it’s not. This is a very classy place, that likes to think of itself as more of a boutique. And why not. Specialising in evening wear you can always find something that sparkles and there’s usually a good range of cocktail-​style dresses. The prices are kept low due to the cheap way items are sourced. AND it’s worth considering that the owner also sometimes buys items. I have sold her quite a few vintage things that I no longer wanted (bear in mind she can’t pay a great deal for them though). It’s also worth popping in around ‘sale’ times, as these are made into quite an occasion and as well as being able to pick up an even bigger bargain, there’s often some fizzy wine on the go too!
