Forget Vinted: Shop Vintage Clothing at Bygone Times - Bygone Times

We all know about the rising popularity of Vinted and its benefits – giving clothing and garments a second life, Vinted helps UK shoppers embrace environmentally-friendly clothes shopping, reducing landfill, whilst offering great prices on unwanted items. Without question, giving pre-loved threads another change is a huge win for everyone.

However, despite the undeniable popularity of Vinted and various other second-hand and vintage clothing marketplaces, Bygone Times believe that our leading Lancashire antiques and vintage centre is the best option for discovering vintage clothing gems from timeless brands like Adidas, Nike, Carhartt, Lee, Levi’s, Dr Martens and so many more.

In a world of endless scrolling, ‘postage pending’ and soulless trips to your local parcel locker in the freezing cold, Bygone Times offers an unbeatable vintage shopping experience to local Lancastrians and tourists alike. With an array of vintage and antiques stallholders, comprised of independent sellers and local businesses, Bygone Times has something for everyone.

No Postage Fees & Anxiety

When you discover a vintage clothing bargain on Vinted, there’s no doubt that we feel that rush of adrenaline. Nevertheless, when you bag that perfect pair of jeans, boots or jacket, only to realise the postage costs more than the item and it takes a week to arrive, there’s going to be some frustration, anxiety, and you may be put off completely.

At Bygone Times, there’s no refreshing the tracking link or contacting customer support – find it, love it, and walk away with it today!

Gratifying and sustainable, Bygone Times offers so much more than just vintage clothing and antiques. With an array of stallholders, ranging from the spectacular and the unique to the daily essentials, Bygone Times is the perfect day out in 2026 to browse, discover and enjoy yourself whilst bagging some bargains on second-hand threads.

Try It Before You Buy It

One of the biggest Vinted and online clothing shopping headaches is the sizing lottery. Despite what it says in the description or size guide, you’re never certain it’s going to look and feel how you’d hoped until you try it.

Use our changing rooms to make sure that vintage leather jacket or pair of jeans fit just right. You can also feel the quality, inspect the stitching and validate the authenticity of your vintage clothing at Bygone Times, saving the hassle of returns faff.
