We’re on the lookout for beauty professionals to join the Afflecks family 💅

Whether you’re an individual practitioner offering one specialised service (like lashes, brows, nails, etc), or an established beauty collective with multiple staff providing a range of services, we want to hear from you 🖤

We’re looking for traders with an existing client base, and all details around available spaces, costs and potential options can be chatted through further down the line in a meeting with the Afflecks management team ✨

This New Year, we’re choosing outfits with a past and a future ✨

Fast fashion might feel convenient, but it often comes at a cost: overproduction, textile waste, and clothes made to be worn once and forgotten. Thrifting is the opposite: it keeps garments in circulation, reduces waste, and gives you something genuinely unique instead of something mass-produced 🌎

Shopping second-hand means fewer clothes ending up in landfill, less demand for harmful production, and way more personality in your outfit. Plus, let’s be honest... nobody wants to turn up on NYE wearing the same thing as three other people 💃

If you’re looking for sustainable sparkle, these Afflecks traders have you covered:

🇺🇸
– a huge range of vintage, retro and fancy dress specialising in quirky and unusual items - including sequined dresses perfect for NYE!

💫
- giving a second life to streetwear, you’ll find a curated selection of vintage designer pieces here

💘
- home to all things y2k! you can even choose to buy items as normal, or trade in your lightly worn funky pieces from your closet in exchange for store credit

🖤 Zeffa
- a wide range of handpicked garments and accessories from the 60s, 70s and 80s, plus a massive selection of gorge vintage leathers

🎯
- packed with vintage clothes and goodies

✌️ .manchester
- an extensive collection of hand-picked vintage Japanese clothing, accessories and more

👾
- a big variety of vintage garments and gadgets, plus second hand streetwear from brands like Carhartt and Dickies

Plus, by shopping with us, you’ll be supporting local, independent businesses too - making you an all round good egg 🫶!!

So, this NYE, thrift your outfit, skip fast fashion, and start the year in style that actually means something 💃🕺

We’re so excited to be showcasing the work of local artist 💫

Johnny’s pieces ‘The Mollie’s Club’, ‘Out of Bondage’ and ‘Cottage Queen’ are on display throughout our Tib Street staircase, and you can buy them by scanning the QR codes or enquiring at Egoïste Gallery on the 3rd floor ✨

Born in rural Lancashire and a Manchester School of Art graduate, Johnny’s work explores q***r history through drag, portraiture and pure glamour.

In current series Such Camp!, Johnny researches historic court documents and q***r literature to tell the stories of LGBTQ+ identity, visibility and subculture — reclaiming space in art history where q***r lives have too often been erased.

By blending classical inspiration with contemporary practice, Johnny’s work beautifully marries past and present 🖤

We are backkkkkkkkk 🕺

It’s a chilly but (slightly) sunny day in Manchester, and honestly, what better way to spend it than inside browsing three floors of independent traders? You deserve a lil treat after such a busy few days 🤭

We’re open 10–6 today, then it’s business as usual until New Year’s Eve when we’ll be closing a little earlier. We’ll be closed all day on New Year’s Day ✨

However you choose to spend today, we hope it’s a good one 🫶

Merry Christmas from all of us at Afflecks 🎄✨

As the year comes to a close, we just want to say the biggest THANK YOU to everyone who’s walked through our doors and continues to support small businesses, especially during what’s been a really challenging time for so many. Every visit, every purchase, every bit of love you show means more than you know 🖤

And as we head into the new year, let’s keep that Christmas ethos alive all year round… shopping small, supporting independent traders and choosing community wherever we can ✨

To our incredible traders: your hard work, creativity, passion and individuality are what make Afflecks what it is. You are Afflecks. Without you, this place simply wouldn’t exist, and we’re endlessly grateful for everything you bring to the building every single day 🌈

And finally, a shout out to the Afflecks team — the behind-the-scenes team who work tirelessly to keep the building running smoothly and looking after this iconic space ✨

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, full of love, rest and good energy. Here’s to community, creativity and many more moments together 🖤
