Hobos Vintage

Hobo’s is a colourful secondhand store selling retro fashion items and accessories from the 1950s to the present. The independent vintage store specialises in '60s, '70s and '80s clothing and accessories of all kinds. It also stocks Casio watches, Lomo cameras and small gifts along with POP clothing, mugs, flight bags, magnets and much more. Hobo’s was established in 1991, but only came to Cardiff in 1994. It’s been going strong ever since. As you might imagine, Hobo’s is popular with the student community; it’s possible to pick up a whole new outfit for around £35 in the shop, which is what you might pay for a single shirt in the likes of Topshop, so it’s certainly a good alternative for anyone feeling the pinch. Hobo’s fits the trend for all things vintage right now, even if it was established long before such accessories became en vogue all over again. Don’t expect to find pretty teacups and 50s cocktail dresses in Hobo’s however – it’s a much more down and dirty version of vintage, where you might find 70s teapots rather than dainty little china teacups. It’s the sort of place you can step inside and lose yourself in as you browse shelf upon shelf laden to the point of groaning with unusual wares of all kinds, from clothing to home furnishings. Adidas striped tees, floral print handbags, denim hotpants, baseball caps, bumbags and smocks are just some of the items crying out for attention within Hobo’s bustling emporium. Items range from cool to kitsch and from camp to outrageous, including 70s shirts that it takes a brave man to wear. One thing’s for sure: if you’re tired of having your style stolen by others, pick up an outfit in Hobo’s and you can rest safe in the knowledge that your one-of-a-kind look will be virtually impossible to copy.
