About Relova
A second-hand shop with first-hand care, in the Northern Quarter since 2014.
Since 2014
One Rail In A Market, Then A Shop
Relova began as a single rail of sixties coats in a Saturday market. It is still run the same way: every piece picked by hand, every flaw written down, every piece one of one.

What Our Customers Say
The grade on the tag said one small mark on the cuff, and that is exactly what there was. Honest, measured, and the coat fits like it was made for me.
Nadia BrennanBought A Sixties Car CoatI bring a bag in every season. The estimate on the website was within a few pounds of what I was paid, and the credit goes straight back into the rail.
Jess OkonkwoConsigns Every SeasonBought a pair of seventies trousers that were too long and had them hemmed before they shipped. Three days, and they arrived ready to wear.
