I like to visit shops like Cancer Research UK as you know that your money is going towards something helpful other than manufacturing more glitzy dresses for the clones to wear next winter. I found that this shop also had some gems. As Rowena said, some clothes still had their tags attached which I found beyind belief. It shows the grand people of Ilkley must either really not like their christmas gifts or have no need to return clothes that aren't suitable. Good on them, it's for charity after all. I didn't buy anything from here but I enjoyed looking through the rails at the mix of designs and fabrics.

Ilkley, being the kind of place it is (a fairly up market little town), has some of the best charity shops. I realise that sounds a little ruthless, charity is charity and I'll always try to clothes shop for bits in these places before trying the old corporate conglomerate style route, but seriously. Ilkley has got some fantastic bargainous charity shops! And Cancer Research is one of them. Going in and looking straight at a clothes rail was like shopping in a designer outlet. There were so many beautifully designed items at more than 80% cheaper than the original price they would have been, muchos exciting. Some even still have the tags on, which is crazy! Obviously it wasn't all like this; there were some rails of glory and others not so much. But compared to, say, Headingley, it was like a bargain dream. With some very helpful staff and a mere fee (which I won't mention as it was a Christmas gift..!) my boyfriend and I went halves on a beautiful quirky designer coat for his Aunty. Fab!
