Established in 1993 by a local business man, Phil Carpenter owner of the highly successful Blackpool Golf shop. Mankind started its career as a stand-alone Pringle shop. Not to be confused with Pringle Golf apparel, after a 250k refit, the shop specialised in luxurious designer fashion from the vintage brand that is known as Pringle. After only being open 2 years, Pringle reduced its brand selection drastically and Phil's Blackpool store was becoming harder to stock, therefore, along with Sirge Smart - the manager, who has a 30 year career in retail including running the only Harrods at sea on board the QEII cruise ship, pursued different brands. The rest is history. We have always prided ourselves in excellent service and welcomed new customers as well as old. When we are buying, which takes us all over Europe, we try not to buy what we like, but what our customers require, and nearly always get it right! As with a lot of stores nowadays, they seem to cater for either the very young, or the more mature - seldom both. Here, at Mankind, with the brands we supply, are able to offer high fashion and superb quality at a competitive price whether you are 17 or 70! So next time you are in Blackpool, or anywhere in Lancashire, go and see the rest, then come and see the BEST.
