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.

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…

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…

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,

Rubadub Records
35 Howard Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4BA
Specialist record shops can often be intimidating places, so it's refreshing - in fact, it's absolutely brilliant - to wander into Rubadub and be catered to by some of the friendliest staff around. That's not to say that they don't know their stuff…
The Store

Watermelon

As a former employee of Armstrong's - celebrated purveyor of vintage clothing in Edinburgh - Gavin O'Brien was the ideal candidate to revive Glasgow's second-hand and retro clothing market with his fabulous and quirky shop, Watermelon. Almost everything…
Boudiche
203 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DQ
Glamorous, luxurious, and sexy. That's just the interior decor in this high-chic lingerie boutique, which has positioned itself amid the glossy designer shops of Glasgow's Merchant City and Edinburgh's New Town and become a must-stop in both locations.
Circa Vintage
37 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Packed-out vintage store with a broad selection. Really good for Art Deco jewellery, and at the other end of the spectrum, fabulously tacky 1980s elasticated belts. Prices range from £5-£75
Fat Buddha
21 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HW
Laid-back store stocking everything your average skater needs: spray paint by Monstercolors and MTN, skate stuff and obscure Japanese T-shirt labels. Sick.
Focus
220 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8HA
Skate and street wear for the boys, with labels like Stussy and Nike, Skullcandy headphones and Nixon watches; also stocks an excellent range of DVDs and is, like, the only place to go to get a new deck for your wheels. Right?
Little-Persia
11–13 Commerce Street,
Glasgow,
G5 8AB
Amongst the largest selection of hand-knotted Persian rugs in the country - well over a thousand specially-sourced and individual pieces. Colour us impressed. Prices range from £50-£1,200
The Men's Store
19 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2PS
These days, buff blokes tan. And groom. And tweeze. And, er, wax. Everything but the guyliner at this high-end grooming gaff for geezers. Grooming packages range from £1.80 for minimal sideburn tweaking to £100 for a fully monty. No, not like that.
Relics
Ruthven Mews, Dowanside Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BZ
It's amazing how much you can pack into one small shop. The shelves and counters of this treasure trove tucked away off Byres Road are stuffed full of bric-a-brac: on a good day you can find anything from Art Nouveau glassware to original 1970s Star…

Voltaire & Rousseau
12–14 Otago Lane,
