A vintage clothing store is set to open on Harrogate’s Cold Bath Road.
Karma Co. Vintage has put posters in the window of the unit previously occupied by children’s shop Tiger Fifty 7, which announced it was closing and looking for another site in May.
The retailer will stock popular brands, vintage street wear and some of its own clothing designs.
Co-founder Victoria Webster said:
“We are a new family business that believes in good vibes and good karma.
“That means doing good for the environment by providing a more sustainable way to shop fashion and, in turn, giving customers the opportunity to find those amazing vintage pieces that make you feel like you’ve found something so special.
“When you shop vintage pretty much everything is limited edition – which we love.”
The shop will join Harrogate’s thriving vintage shopping scene alongside the likes of Catherine Smith Vintage Fashion and SPACE.
Ms Webster added:
“We’re a very creative family, and my husband Anton, who is co-founder of Karma Co., has worked in vintage for many years. Some people will recognise him from his days managing Bluerinse in Leeds, or running stalls at Leeds Festival.
“We can’t wait to show you what we have in store.”
Karma and Co. Vintage hopes to open mid-October.

Harrogate children’s shop seeks new location
A children’s shop in Harrogate is looking to move to a town centre location to attract more shoppers.
Tiger Fifty 7, on Cold Bath Road, opened in 2019 to “create a shopping experience like no other for both parents and children”.
The shop sells a wide range of toys and games, children’s clothing, as well as accessories and clothing for parents.
However, the business has made the decision to move due to increased bills and the challenges that retail is facing, according to its social media.

Neither an official closing date of the current shop or a new store location have yet been confirmed.
Co-owner Georgie Simpson said the business was “in limboland” until the current site is taken over by someone else.
Ms Simpson told The Stray Ferret:
“We can’t commit to anything new until this shop is taken over, however we’d prefer to be closer to the centre of town as there is not a lot footfall here.
“We’re definitely happy about the decision, despite it being a lot of stress.”
The unit is listed with Montpellier Property Consultants and is £18,000 per year to rent.
