A Vintage Treasure in the Heart of Henley

Nestled at 92 High Street in the historic market town of Henley-in-Arden, Urban Village is a distinctive vintage clothing and record shop that feels like stepping into a carefully preserved time capsule. The shop occupies a traditional high street building, its unassuming frontage giving way to a richly layered interior packed with decades of style and sound. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by racks of authentic 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s garments—think two-tone suede jackets, vintage denim, band tees, and retro accessories—all thoughtfully curated rather than mass-produced. The adjacent record section offers a similarly handpicked selection of vinyl, appealing to collectors and casual listeners alike with its nostalgic album art and classic genres.

Style, Sound, and a Personal Touch

The shop’s charm lies in its authenticity and attention to detail. Garments are genuine vintage pieces, not modern reproductions, and the stock changes regularly, encouraging repeat visits. The clothing ranges from everyday casual wear to statement pieces, making it a go-to for those who love to build a unique wardrobe with character. The record section complements this perfectly, with a strong emphasis on classic rock, pop, and 1980s hits that resonate with Gen X and older millennials. Staff are consistently described as friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to chat about both fashion and music, creating a relaxed, unhurried shopping experience that feels more like a conversation than a transaction.

A Community-Focused Urban Village

Urban Village has become a local institution, valued not just for its stock but for its role in the town’s small retail scene. It’s the kind of place where regulars return year after year, building relationships with the team and discovering new favourites each time. The shop’s welcoming ethos extends to dogs, which are allowed inside, adding to its informal, inclusive atmosphere. Families, couples, and solo shoppers all find something to enjoy here, whether it’s a daughter hunting for a vintage jacket, a parent reliving their youth through vinyl, or a solo visitor browsing for a one-of-a-kind outfit. This sense of community and continuity gives the shop a warmth that goes beyond mere commerce.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Visitors can comfortably spend an hour or more exploring the clothing and records, with plenty to see even if you’re not planning to buy. The layout is compact but well-organized, with clear sections for men’s and women’s clothing and a dedicated space for vinyl. Prices are generally reasonable for genuine vintage items, and there are often standout deals on both apparel and records. The shop is open six days a week with Sunday hours, making it accessible for both local residents and day-trippers exploring the Warwickshire countryside. Because it’s a small, independent shop, opening times are fixed and it’s wise to check ahead if making a special trip, especially around holidays or local events.
