Pre-Loved and Alternative Fashion in Weston-super-Mare

Rails of rock, goth and alternative clothes share the floor with everything else at The Curious Hideaway. When the shop opened, the local paper picked out pre-loved Dr. Martens and band T-shirts among the things visitors could find, and the mix keeps changing.

Because it is pre-loved, what is here today may be gone tomorrow. Recent rails have included velvet dresses and skirts, wrap tops, boots and band T-shirts. It is worth a regular look, and worth buying the thing you love when you see it.

Dahlia Wax Candles

Best known for candles, Dahlia also offers a selection of clothing, bags and accessories with a rock, goth and alternative feel.

Handmade with Rage

Finish the look with a handmade bag. Tote bags and laptop bags come in velvets, brocades, tapestries and canvas, with plenty of gothic, horror and tattoo-inspired prints.

Why pre-loved?

Buying second-hand keeps good clothes in use and out of landfill, and it means you are unlikely to meet someone in the same outfit. Alternative clothes tend to last, too, and often look better with some history behind them.

Add some handmade jewellery and you are done.
