Fashion stores Manche

A few years ago, a veritable flagship dedicated to the brand took up residence in the splendid building that once belonged to the Banque de France, facing the port. The factory is located here, and you can of course visit it. But it's also a magnificent boutique, restored in the old-fashioned way, facing the Bassin du Commerce, where you'll also find gourmet products, bags, stoles and other marvels. In short, a must-see on your discovery of the port city.

As a bonus, creative workshops are set up here to help you become more familiar with some of the techniques used. A beautiful place.

Toscane, a brand owned by Armand Welling, invested the part of the former store located at the corner of Schuman Boulevard and Gambetta Street, the women's part of the enseigne, and the male part having migrated to the Eléis. A specialist of large clothing for women, offering sizes ranging from 44 to 52, Tuscany quickly managed to find its clientele in Cherbourg: shirts, dresses, trousers or sweaters are now bought by many women. 

It is a small boutique in the village of Octeville.

The variations are numerous and you can choose the print that suits you best. Finally, note that these are made here, guaranteeing a local origin, and an outstanding quality.

If La Cabane is rather classical, its neighbor, made in the original. Very stylish shoes, design. Connected, what. And it's going to make some jealous!

A military museum-shop, everything related to the Second World War and the D-Day landings can be found here. As if parachuted into a surplus of the American army, trellises, helmets, small badges dear to collectors and berets of all kinds are presented. Bartering is also practised here. Notice to those who keep some relics in their garage... This could interest more than one, and not only the collectors. The hours are vast.

This vast boutique was opened almost 3 years ago by two former colleagues, who offer second-hand products for younger customers.

Please note that what you'll find here is guaranteed to be in perfect condition. A great initiative!

Tricots Saint-James perpetuates a long textile tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages with its weavers and clothiers.

Saint-James has received the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) distinction, a label of excellence. You will also find here a store with a display of the collections, and take the opportunity to visit the workshops located next to the store.

An incredible shop in the heart of Carentan: such is this rather large Petite Musette. Because here you can find a lot of items related to the Second World War - we remind the dizzy ones that we're only about ten kilometres from Utah Beach.

Here, you will only find second-hand clothes, but be careful: they are carefully selected by Julie, the person in charge of the place. The bottom line is that many people come here to get a unique look, to find rare pieces, and of course to do a good deed. The welcome is excellent, and the choice is impressive.
