I’ve been looking for a new outfit for awhile and this place was recommended to me from one of the Goth Facebook groups I must say that I think the photos on Google Maps don’t do it justice. I found two outfits that were perfect at what I thought was very reasonable prices and the garments are really good quality. Abi The assistant was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble helping me in and out of various outfits. Thank you I’m thrilled to bits and will be back

This is an amazing shop for people that like really good quality clothing and brand names. My daughter absolutely loves this shop and visits every year at goth weekend. This year she spend almost £300 on clothing this year and as a goth she loves this shop so much. We live in Wakefield near leeds and she waits all year until goth weekend for her visit to this shop she loves so very much. Photos are products from this shop. She is a small slim 18 year old for photo reference

A great shop for all your goth and steam punk styles. Excellent choice and plenty of it. A really good range of hats for all occasions and loved the trinkets, mugs, jewellery and objet d'art. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. My daughter's favourite goth shop
