The Manchester Shop

The Manchester Shop sells all things Manchester related and is home to our own brand Manc and Proud. Clothing for adults and kids, giftware, jewellery and souvenirs

Based in Afflecks on Oldham Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter, open 7 days a week.

Established in 2016, Manc and Proud was created from the love of bees, Britpop and chip butties. They wanted to create a brand that spoke to all Mancunians, whether you were born and bred in Oldham or you came here for uni and liked it so much you stayed. In the wise words of Ian Brown, “It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at”.

So many people from Manchester are incredibly inspirational, whether it’s contemporary bards like Stephen Patrick Morrissey, or revolutionary feminists like Emmeline Pankhurst. The Manchester Shop wanted to honour that and recognise what amazing things Mancunians are capable of.

Everything they do is collaborative, from the beginning stages of an idea as weird as a twisted melon, to being handed over to their production team in Afflecks and then put in their shop to go home with you.

The Manchester Shop are very proud to support Forever Manchester and our work within local communities.
