Poorboy is sat on a street lined with gold.
A street with a past and a present.
As a Hull grown girl Humber Street was where the wishing well was as a kid.
Where the streets was littered with boxes from fruit 'n veg sold that morning. Sorted and sent out, men at work and bars.
Humber Street had a 're birth with splendour and glory.
Rumours are that Humber Street is too clean and is been taken over by chains.
Poorboy is no big high street chain though, don't be fooled by the gloss, new buildings etc etc.
Poorboy is what's good about Hull and our vintage found love.
We've got style, an edge and we ain't frightened to let loose and be individual.
Yep, that's right we have an edge we didn't get City Of Culture for been mediocre.
Poorboy is a mix, it's got it!
Take Herschel, one of my fave brands
When did you last see a stockist?
The last one I saw was in the south of France, Biarritz where I holiday.
Great label, sought after, on trend and not so basic.
Huge respect to Poorboy for supporting and supplying Paul for brain recovery
A little snipppet from Paul and the good cause
We are a charity that was founded by a brain injury survivor – Paul Spence. Because of this we have an understanding of what people are up against!
Paul started his brain recovery in 2012. He faced a long difficult recovery and realised the lack of support in the community. We know that people are left lost, lonely, confused and vulnerable after brain injury. The injury can come with devastating consequences and be life changing for everyone affected. For those reasons, there needs to be somewhere to go, a lifeline, a place were they can get comfort, support, education and inspiration. PAUL For brain recovery exists to make life easier after brain injury by providing advice and support to empower all affected by brain injury.
Here at PAUL For Brain Recovery we support people across a broad spectrum of injuries/conditions and have aided them through the subsequent challenges that follow at different stages of their recovery
Poorboy influenced many people do drop by, turn up and buy on the invite only night.
High turn out, happy faces along with great food and great music.
Sparking interest from all over the street
Need to know more, of course you do
Poorboy was conceived by the fusing together of two polar opposites, thrift and luxury, two words which are rarely spoken of in the same breath. We source and explore all corners of the globe for unique, vintage pieces that are a sight to behold. We bring the past crashing into the present and give them a new lease of life. Following the success of concessions in both BANK clothing stores and selfridges, Poorboy Boutique is the first stand alone store to be opened under the brand. We stock one off vintage items, Poorboy : Remade (vintage garments that are re-worked and tailored for a unique style with attention to detail) and exclusive brands. Poorboy is the ideal repository for aesthetic splendour and true craftsmanship.
Cloths full of colour,texture and enough choice for the most descerning of customer
