Description:
Chinese Laundry is an independent clothing shop packed with hand-picked vintage pieces, reworked garments and original designs inspired by retro style and local artists. Racks of menswear, womenswear, footwear and accessories fill the atmospheric Wealden Hall, with everything from familiar sportswear labels to one-off finds from past decades. The building is nearly as interesting as the clothes, so remember to look beyond the rails and up at the historic beams.

Make a Day of It:
Start at York Minster, wander through College Green and then give yourself plenty of time to explore the rails inside Chinese Laundry. Continue down Goodramgate towards King’s Square and The Shambles afterwards, dressed in the vintage jacket you definitely did not need but now cannot imagine living without.

​

The Tidy Take:
Chinese Laundry combines proper vintage treasure hunting with one of York’s most impressive historic shop interiors. The selection is big, the setting is beautiful and the best discoveries are usually hiding three rails deeper than you planned to browse.
