Vintage Haven in Historic St Nicholas Market
Nestled within the covered arches of St Nicholas Market, Urban Fox occupies stalls 51 and 52 at 58 Corn Street, right in Bristol's old city heart. This Georgian-era market, trading since 1743, surrounds the shop with a maze of independent stalls selling crafts, food, and curiosities. Urban Fox stands out as a dedicated vintage clothing outpost, its rails brimming with carefully selected garments that evoke mid-20th-century flair. The shop's location immerses shoppers in the market's daily rhythm, where the scent of street food mingles with the tactile allure of aged fabrics.Curated Collections Spanning Eras
