Discover more about Garms Newcastle
A compact treasure trove of curated vintage
Garms occupies a narrow frontage on Grainger Street, where its tidy display window gives way to a densely packed interior of rails and shelving. The store focuses on wearable vintage — denim, jackets, knitwear and logo tees — arranged so you can move from decade to decade as you browse. Fixtures are practical and unpretentious; the emphasis is on garments that retain good structure and character rather than fragile showpieces.Character and curation: what you’ll find
Inventory rotates frequently but leans toward durable, wearable items: selvedge and heavyweight denim, leather and utilitarian outerwear, retro sportswear and workwear-inspired pieces. Accessories and smaller finds appear on shelves or in baskets; the shop often mixes higher-value vintage with affordable statement items, making it possible to pick up both investment pieces and fun accessories.The shop’s feel and sensory detail
Step inside and you’ll notice the compact, warm atmosphere: the soft metallic clink of hangers, the scent of worn cotton and leather, and the tight sightlines that draw your eye along rows of colour and texture. Lighting is focused on racks to reveal tones and fabric detail. A small changing alcove and a modest counter area keep the experience intimate and easy to navigate, especially during quieter hours.People, service and local context
Garms presents itself as a neighbourhood boutique: staff are typically ready to advise on fit and provenance, and the shop’s selection reflects both international vintage trends and local tastes. The store’s placement on Grainger Street situates it amid Newcastle’s shopping district, making it a convenient stop for shoppers layering an independent-shop crawl across the city centre.Practical shopping notes
Sizes and cuts vary widely — as with any vintage boutique, trying on is recommended to check fit. Garments are presented ready-to-wear but may show the expected signs of age; inspect seams, zips and buttons if you’re looking for long-term wear. The shop’s compact footprint means busy periods can feel crowded, and larger groups may find browsing slower when staff are assisting individual customers.Why Garms matters to style hunters
For collectors and casual shoppers alike, Garms offers focused curation rather than a sprawling jumble. Its balance of wearable classics and approachable price points makes it a useful stop for anyone piecing together a vintage-inflected wardrobe or seeking a single standout item. The shop’s evident care for selection and presentation gives it a confident, no-nonsense personality within Newcastle’s independent-retail scene.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
