A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Workwear with a previous life
French work jackets, faded denim and old leather make this Narrows shop a satisfying rummage, with handpicked vintage chosen by owners Colin and Holly.
Butterworth’s is for anyone who likes clothes with texture and a story. Colin sources the vintage stock, while Holly looks after the online side of their Totnes business. French workwear, Americana and military pieces are specialities, with denim and leather alongside. Give the rails time: the interest is often in a faded colour, a useful pocket or an unexpected fabric.
