Profile Biography

Manchester’s newest and freshest independent menswear shop, Smithfield, has opened in the Northern Quarter

Housed in the Smithfield Building, once occupied by the likes of British Home Stores, and referred to as ‘the Harrods of the North’ the shop is situated in what was once the Victorian working market hub, and a major post war shopping district; Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Now it is the most vibrant and energetic areas of one of England’s most forward thinking cities, with a rich heritage in music, fashion and design, and Smithfield is right at the heart of it.

As a tribute to the fascinating history of the premises and surroundings, the shop is called Smithfield; the logo is a Smithfield collie, a dog synonymous with hard work and a fiery temperament.

The shop, boasting a striking, interesting and unique interior, made from 100% recycled materials, by sustainable designer Peter Masters, will stock a host of Scandinavian and European brands including: Wood Wood, Spitfire Design, On Tour, Organic label Knowledge Cotton Apparel, Dunderdon and local brand Three Crowns, as well as selected music titles from local labels Fat City Recordings and Electrik Souls.

Watched over by resident cardboard Smithfield collies are everyday essentials and staple wardrobe classics, including a variety of shirts, knits and outwear. With an increasingly mature aesthetic and relaxed nature the shop will fit right into the creative buzz of the Northern Quarter.

The focus behind the shop, both interior and contents, is that to stand out from the crowd it shouldn’t cost the earth… literally.
