Magic Number Three

As a shop owner myself I really admire and appreciate all the hardwork it takes to manage and develop an Independent Boutique. This is definatley one of my all time favourites as the look and feel of the shop encompasses the passion and love for not just ethical products but the sheer enjoyment of bringing something new and exciting to the public…

Magic Number Three is a shop that has that special something, is it the well-​designed logo, the colours of the shop front, the lighting, the walls filled with carefully chosen artwork, the location basically it’s all these things combined that draws you in and locks your attention down.
It used to be a café with art and clothing on the side, and it didn’t quite gel. There wasn’t really the physical space to do both. Now it has waved goodbye to the coffee and has embraced it’s fairtrade, local and artisan roots and is a fully fledged ethical extravaganza :) They have a carefully selected range of stylish and ethically sourced clothing and artwork by local artists. The limited prints of Titus Salt by Nick Tankard are wonderful. So inspired. But then that is what Saltaire does, it grabs you by the hand and gives you a warm feeling inside. I suppose the saying is ‘steeped in history’…
They sell mounted photographs, cards, baby things, jewellery, ceramic artwork and original and limited edition prints.
Anyway, the transformation is really splendid, definitely the right move. A great place to browse, look for gifts and enjoy the Saltaire atmosphere. And then pop over to the mill afterwards for refreshment :)
