Replay

This is situated in the posh, designer shopping area of Merchant City aka Candleriggs.
The closest I’ve realistically been involved in the designer world is by very briefly dating an alcoholic who worked as security in Jigsaw (that’s designer right?). Who me and the boy happened to bump into on the way home rather intoxicated from The Wise Monkey the other night. It was not especially pleasant.
Particularly, because I knew when I heard someone shout ‘Laura!’ I was too drunk to deal with it. But, when continued walking without a second thought, the boy stopped and turned round with a native ‘Someone just shouted on you…’. I can now see the sweet side in it, however, at the time I believe I gave him a rather shocked and irritated look.
Anyway, enough of that talk. This is one of the few designer shops I’ve been in through irregular shopping days with the mother. It is very pretty, well laid out and some of the clothes are actually quite nice.
However, it’s extremely pricey for what you get and the staff do seem rather above their station, which is off putting.

The Replay Shop is based in th gorgeous part of Glasgow which is the Merchant City area. True to form; it’s based in a breathtaking building, is rather elegantly designed, and is more than a little overpriced.
The shop assistants were nice enough, but weren’t particularly chatty. I suppose they’re probably employed for their ability to be aloof… They’re very much to thank for the shop being so well laid out though, in the time I was there I swear one of them spent five minutes folding a single jumper. (Kind of makes you want to go and unfold it, doesn’t it?!)
Replay mainly sell men’s clothes. It focuses on denim — with a great range of quality jeans. Do bear in mind though that they’ll set you back about £120. Not bad for designer jeans, but still not quite a budget friendly option. They also sell quite a large range of polo-​shirts and hoodies. Again, their clothes are quite studenty — but their prices aren’t.
The cutest area of the shop, though, is most definitely the children’s section. This includes mini versions of almost everything you’ll find in the store — denim jackets, coats, hoodies, jeans and polo-​necks. Their children’s range also includes stuff for girls. Surprisingly though, even a pair of jeans small enough for a 2 year old will cost you £70. Ouch. Maybe you’d be better with a trip to Baby Gap.
