I just love this shop! It's full of the unusual and retro clothing galore and the proprietors are fun and friendly and very helpful. This shop is well worth a visit even just to browse and have that wonderful trip down memory lane, but you are sure to buy something, probably retro, it's that sort of shop where you will always find something that you like and need...

An excellently curated little vintage boutique full of amazing items from 1920s-1980s
Went in there on a whim and picked out for myself a lovely 60s dogtooth wool Harrington jacket and was astonished at how affordable the price was. Also had a great chat with the owner about clothes and all sorts of things. They also make fabulous custom beaded hats and accessories for sale.
The vintage market is often over saturated and overpriced but small shops like this with obviously passionate owners are the ones to look out for - keeping it real and keeping it affordable is very much appreciated. Keep up the great work 😀

A veritable treasure trove of the best of British retro & vintage elegance. The shop's displays are a real experience and a wander back in time to the 40s, 50s and 60s. All sorts of wonders to choose from, such as elegant and vintage ladies clothing - from great gatsby slink to funky rockabilly dresses and burlesque outfits/some corsets and headdresses and vintage jewellery. The lady who runs the shop always looks beautiful and is a real inspiration when looking for new ideas. I especially love the nick nacks and various items of ornaments and furniture. I just missed out on buying a vintage, brass telescope and an art deco lamp. There are also other specialist items, such as fairy and dragon wings in differing colours. It's one of Glastonbury's many eclectic experiences on the high street.

Went in to get my daughter a funky pin as I couldn't find one up the high street. I went into lous lous vintage shop and she stopped what she was doing and even threw more things on a pin for me! Made my day. Even found out she does different groups and work shops as well. Amazing.

An amazing place and the owner is fantastic; she found me a gorgeous, vintage dress that I would never have thought of wearing but adored. Prices are excellent, cannot recommend strongly enough!

An emporium of overpriced tat and rampant greed. We called into this shop today and had a very unpleasant experience. My mother was looking at a tin on a rather rickety shelf when a heavy brass ornament, which had been placed right at the front directly above a small coffee set, fell off.
The only damage was one broken cup. The owner of the shop claimed that now she would not be able to sell the set so demanded full payment of £28, the set itself was not a vintage item but instead a recent cheap tacky Japanese reproduction that a charity shop would have been lucky to get £5 for.
The woman stood right over us as we both had to empty our purses to pay her, seeming rather pleased with herself.
My mother asked her to let us have the rest of the set as we had paid for all of it and said she would drop it into a charity shop. The woman did not seem pleased at this but did as asked.
We know from having friends who are self employed in retail that in the event of an accident where breakage occurs it is more usual to charge the wholesale amount rather than the retail figure to the person responsible. We would have been happy to do this.
A while later as we walked through town we saw the shop owner visiting all the charity shops on the High Street, we wondered if she was looking to buy back the set to re-sell??
When we looked at the set later we realised that besides it being a cheap, used reproduction it was in fact already incomplete before the breakage (most coffee sets have 6 cups and saucers, this set had 5 cups and only four saucers).
Very upset and unimpressed at being treated like this, thankfully not the norm with other traders in Glastonbury. We can understand that people need to make a living but at least try to do it honestly and try to treat customers decently.
