Candy Candy

How I’ve managed to not review Candy Candy is a mystery, as I’ve been in several times. In any case, here I am, and I’m going to tell you why I love this fabulous shop. Hidden away in the Corn Exchange, on the ground floor, this gorgeous den of vintage themed gifts is not only like a sugary treat for the eyes, but smells like one too. As well as stocking their in-​house brand of delightful beauty products, ranging from cupcake shaped bath bombs to all kinds of delicious soaps and creams, but they also stock a range of the much coveted Rose & Co products. This is fabulous, as I’ve been missing those guys ever since the shop shut down in the Victoria Quarter!
In addition to this, you’ll find a lovely range of gorgeous jewellery, all in keeping with the candy vintage theme, and some truly lovely dresses. A few have been calling to me since the shop arrived, so I’m sure I’ll have to treat myself at some point, but one must go in and delve further to appreciate all the little things this shop has in store. Added into this quality place for kitsch delights, is that the owner is one of the loveliest going, and passionate to boot. She organised the Candy Candy Halloween party in the Corn Exchange, which I’m sad to say I missed, but also gave me some excellent ideas for Christmas gifts when we got chatting in December. She’s extremely friendly, going the extra mile, and that’s something every shop needs.
Check it out, vintage fans and beyond, it’s a real treat!
