From world-famous brands to quirky independent offerings, South Tyneside’s towns and villages provide a range of retail therapy.<\/p>\n

Global Icons<\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The jewel in the crown of South Tyneside’s retail offering is undoubtedly that most-British of brands \u2014 Barbour. The brand was founded in South Shields in 1894, and its headquarters remain here despite it having grown to become one of the world\u2019s most recognisable \u2014 and successful \u2014 fashion brands. Their factory outlet in Jarrow offers both new collections and last season’s range at a discounted price – a great place to invest in some quality clothing.<\/p>\n

Plenty of the biggest high street names have outposts in South Tyneside too \u2014 head to Waterloo Square and King Street in the centre of South Shields to explore well-known favourites including Next, Desire by Debenhams and River Island.<\/p>\n

Local Heroes<\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a more personal touch, South Tyneside’s towns and villages are worth exploring – packed with boutiques, delis and independent emporiums of all types.<\/p>\n

In the beautiful village of Cleadon you’ll find Jan Watters Florist, which stocks design-led gifts and homewares in addition to their beautiful bouquets, and Marianne Fashions \u2014 your go-to for special occasions and mother-of-the-bride fashion. Foodies are well catered for too -don\u2019t forget to stop by Happy Organic, a cafe and health store, and Bon Appetite, a cafe and deli which also stocks a range of gifts and homewares.<\/p>\n

“South Shields’ popular monthly craft markets have a new home”<\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

The village of Westoe meanwhile is home to Keltic Touch, a quirky and unusual gift shop, and Dress Me VIP Boutique, which stocks exclusive fashion items you won’t find on the high street, including celebrity trends and styles. At the heart of the coastal village of Whitburn you’ll find Stella’s Loft, an eclectic lifestyle boutique. Whitburn is also home to the award winning traditional Di Giorgio Butchers.<\/p>\n

In East Boldon independent menswear store Master Debonair dress the sharpest men in the area with seemingly effortless style, while the sales at Boldon Auction Galleries and Jarrow Auction House are treasure troves of unique finds and one-off pieces.<\/p>\n

At the edge of South Shields Market Square, the Shop @The Word is home to the area’s visitor information centre and is a great place to pick up unique gifts, cards, jewellery prints and much more.<\/p>\n

Market<\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

South Shields’ popular monthly craft markets have a new home and name \u2014 the Pepperpot Fayre is now held in South Shields Market Square (outside The Word) on the first Sunday of the month from May to October.<\/p>\n

The Market Square is also home to the traditional South Shields market, which takes place as usual every Monday, Friday and Saturday. If that’s not enough, Jarrow’s Viking Centre is holding a monthly Sunday craft market over the summer, and there are special markets and fayres in the area throughout the year, including the fabulous Christmas Wonderland Fayre at Haven Point in November.<\/p>\n
