Records . Coffee . Clothing . Community

The GoodLove is a small, independent shop by the estuary in Brightlingsea, Essex. We are a record shop that also stocks preloved clothes and homeware with a clear purpose: quality finds, affordable prices, and a welcoming community focused vibe.

We have records from every genre and every item of clothing is hand-picked - no bales are bought round here! We are passionate about sustainability and circular fashion and music culture that locals can actually enjoy.

The GoodLove hosts DJs and live acts every weekend, supporting local creativity and connection. We also sell coffee and tea from other small independent companies so you can enjoy a drink as you browse in your own time.

The GoodLove is a place to hunt for treasures, discover something unexpected, and feel good about where your money goes.

We look forward to seeing you in store soon. Matt and Laura x
