60’s and 70’s clothes for men and women. There
are a lot of great suits, Hawaiian shirts, leather jackets
and trousers for men and a good selection coats, dresses and
jackets for women. Modern Age specialises in hiring out unusual
evening wear and much of its stock is available to either
buy or hire. Modern Age: Open all week, 10.30am to 6pm. 65
