K1 Yarns Knitting Boutique
136 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow,
G20 8NY
Knitters' paradise! Every possible colour and texture of yarn you can imagine, plus patterns, weekly classes, and an informal area for sitting and, well, knitting.
Barnardos Boutique
54 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HD
The chance to save a bit of cash isn't the only reason to visit this store. There's a fine selection of designer and vintage clothing looking for a new home, with all money raised going towards children in Scotland. Donations are most welcome too if you…
Entrading
88 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the outside, it looks like your average surf and homeware shop, but inside Entrading is stuffed sustainable and ethical household goods: everything from dishwasher tablets to the dishwasher itself (completely recyclable, natch). There's also a…
Missing Records
247 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Loved and revered in Glasgow, the Missing enterprise used to be a bit more of a chain, but everything's now concentrated on this one hub near the Arches (with a wee sister out in Paisley). Still got a brilliant selection of secondhand music and films…
Pink Poodle
181–183 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TS
Frothy, fizzy wee boutique specialising in independent designers like Motel, Yumi, Mina and Numph. They're great for handbags, sparkly girly jewellery and the sort of young, off-beat and off-high street fashion that doesn't take itself too seriously.
A1 Comics
35 Parnie Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RJ
Taking in both the Marvel and DC universes, and everything else in between, this home-grown den of geekery is staffed by genuinely knowledgable comic book guys. And their website's kinda fun, too.
Alba Second-Hand Music
55 Otago Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8PQ
Sturdy, long-running store handily situated for the College of Piping, dealing in printed music for most instruments, ensembles and orchestras.
Boxwood
388 Byres Rd,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
Relaxed, rustic charm for stylish houses, with a New England or Scandinavian feel. Inside, you'll find lovely local design, organic babyware and an expert picture framing service.
Fifi and Ally
51–52 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Fifi and Ally may have a reputation as a girly cup-cake café but its coffee is strong, rich and memorable and their menu reveals a deep source of local produce and home-made delicacies. The warm chèvre salad with beetroot and butternut squash (one of…
The Glasgow School of Art Shop
11 Dalhousie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6RQ
Some of the best artisans, makers, crafters and designers in Scottish fashion have come up through this venerable introduction, and it's now helping them pay back their student loans, with a great shop full of homeware and accessories.
Hillhead Bookclub
17 Vinicombe Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8BE
There are not many places you can indulge in cocktail served in an old gramophone, but that is just one of the many quirky traits that ensures the Hillhead Bookclub is counted among the West End’s coolest hangouts. Food is of a very high standard, the…
I Love Candy
261 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TL
Sugar-sweet pink and white 'candy boutique' cashing in on the burgeoning trend for retro sweeties. Glass jars of soor plooms and forgotten classics like Wham Bars and Spanish Golds are supplied to the store by a mysterious local sugarsmith they refer to…
Made With Love at eatiBOUTIQUIE
231 Berkeley Street, Finnieston,
Glasgow,
G3 7HH
A tea and cake shop upfront, and in the back, a tiny store specialising in locally made jewellery and gifts, plus a small selection of vintage bags, shoes and clothes.
Monorail
12 Kings Court, King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5RB
Don't mistake the slender couple of shelves in the back room of vegan venue Mono for a lightweight enterprise. Owner and muso Stephen Pastel has been setting Glasgow's hipster pulse from here for years.
Play It Again* Records
47 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Play it Again* Records are pretty keen on avoiding the corporate trappings of logos, mottos and mantras (but insist on keeping the asterisk). They sell and buy old records, CDs & DVDs that are in decent condition and fairly priced. Nothing will ever…
Eve Boutique
8 Kildrostan Street, Pollokshields,
Glasgow,
G41 4LU
Ladies’ clothing, jewellery, accessories and highly covetable knickers for the Pollokshields girl.
Glorious
41 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
One of The List's favourite clothing shops, Glorious hovers somewhere between 'vintage' and 'second hand', recycling specially-selected high street and designer fashion of the last ten-fifteen years at inoffensive prices. They're utterly brilliant for…
LOVEmusic
34 Dundas Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2AQ
Near-legendary record shop specialising in new and used indie and alternative vinyl and CDs. An essential part of the Glasgow muso experience, with a great selection of local acts. They specialise in indie, rock, punk and americana, but are good for 60s…
AG'S Clothes and Accessories
37 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Fitting well - somehow - into Ruthven Lane's bustling mix of vintage clutter, this pretty, streamlined little shop focuses on independent design targeted at young, fashion concious women who don't like to follow the herd. And no, that's not a…
Brazen Studios
58 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Really something rather special, this one. The high-concept interiors of this Merchant City jewellery showroom and design studio don't even get close to the imagination of the in-house designers. Creating one-offs and hip, edgy bespoke pieces, with a…
Butterfly Kisses
8 Skirving Street, Shawlands,
Glasgow,
G41 3AA
Design enthusiasts, take note: it's worth the trip out to the South Side (if you don't already live there) just to check out this sweetly-named boutique's innovative, free-floating, custom-designed interior. Loads of lovely labels (including exclusive…
Damselfly and the Queen Bee
380 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Two shops in one; both stuffed full of arty, girly, crafty, gift ideas. As shopping experiences go, it's a little like walking in to a Victorian scrapbook.
Felix and Oscar
459 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
Eked out inside a beautiful old building by Kelvinbridge, this densely-stocked store is the absolute first stop for trendy WEndies hunting Cath Kidston chintz or Orla Kiely handbags. They also do nice lines in tongue-in-cheek pressies, Alessi…
