Leeds has been keeping a secret from the rest of us and I’m about to expose it. West Yorkshire’s finest isn’t their puddings, it's their threads. The home of Marks and Spencer and The Dalek Building have the most impressive range collectively of top quality vintage in the UK. You’ll need to buy yourself a bus ticket, for I’m taking you to the four corners of the city, leaving no vintage stone unturned. This is my city of romance. To me every store has a sweetness that make Leeds the capital of Love.
