The Sheffield independent retail scene received a welcome boost earlier this year when vintage specialists Glass Onion opened their new flagship store on Division Street.
Since opening its initial premises on Norfolk Street in 2019, the brand has become synonymous across the city with sustainable, hand-selected clothing and accessories covering a wide range of designer brands and processing up to 20,000 kilograms of clothing at their factory HQ – all of which was previously destined for landfill.
Their first store closed its doors on 8th October and, just a week later, the doors opened to their bigger, better venue situated fittingly in the heart of the Devonshire Quarter, an area celebrated for its independent businesses and retail offering.
Phoebe Price, shop manager, said of the move:
“We’ve had an amazing response since opening, it’s been really busy and we’re really grateful to all the customers who’ve come to see us. We feel like the added visibility of being on Division Street has really uplifted us as a brand.
“The new store is three times the size of the old one, which of course means we can showcase a much wider range of products ensuring that we’ve got something here for everyone. We’re on a mission to help make shopping second-hand the go-to option. It’s a more affordable alternative and far kinder to the environment – two very important things in the current climate.”
You can find the store located next to the Gatsby bar, opposite Bungalows and Bears and Rudy’s Pizza. They’ll be open as normal up until Christmas Eve (full hours listed below) but keep an eye out for a late-night opening in the run-up to the festivities.
