If you are looking for an exotic and unusual gift step out of Manchester and set foot into the Orient, by visiting the fabulous Carousel (formerly Sausage Dog in Japan) which is housed in the veritable treasure trove that is Affleck’s.
The only place in Manchester where you will find a wide range of Japanese Kokeshi dolls. These beautiful wooden dolls come in all shapes and sizes and would make a great present, or a lovely piece for the home.
Continuing along the theme of dolls; Carousel also stocks ornate Russian dolls and fabulous Guatemalan worry dolls that might help you ease the stresses of the day!
Also to be found in this gorgeous shop is the fairy tale inspired art work of local artiste Naomi Von Monsta, from trinket boxes to faerie wear including hand made horns and toadstools hair pieces.
From finger puppets to fortune beads, Carousel offers shoppers a beautiful shopping experience and the opportunity to own some one of a kind pieces and you can always say hi to the fishys when you are there!
Currently to be found in the treasure trove that is Affleck’s or in Stockport Market Hall, Pink Flamingo Vintage Boutique is a veritable feast of vintage clothing and accessories that will bring a fabulous edge to any wardrobe.
All pieces are original vintage, hand picked and either sold in their original glory of altered by the owners of the boutique themselves to give them a more modern edge. Therefore each piece becomes individual and buying from Pink Flamingo ensures that no one else is going to own the same piece of clothing as you!
There are some great pieces to be found in this pop up boutique, and most of all they are affordable so you don’t have to break the bank to give yourself a new look. :-)
