INTRO Clothing

This Manchester-born independent has been selling designer menswear in the city since 1990. It’s seen a lot of trends come and go in that time, and has always been there at the forefront of them, mainly thanks to the dedication of owner and founder Oliver Grant. If you’re looking for young, confident clothing from high-end, hard-to-source labels, this is your go-to.

The Deansgate store opened in 2000 and is a favourite with the style-conscious shopper. Its hand-picked collections include Japan’s Flower Mountain, Montreal’s Domrebel, and Italian label Tramarossa. You’ll be greeted by friendly, helpful but thankfully unintrusive assistants: if you want their advice, just ask. Otherwise, they’ll happily leave you to browse.

You can also shop their collections online, though nothing beats being able to see, try and touch before you buy.
