Unit 9 Edwin Road in Manchester holds clonezone, a gay retail shop with pretty much anything you could want from the LGBTQ+ scene.
You'll find clubwear, swimwear, and basics like underwear and t-shirts. But it's the more specific stuff that makes the place worth knowing: adult toys, lubes, bondage and fetish accessories, BDSM gear, and rubberwear. They also sell music, books, magazines, and gifts.
The shop stocks brands like COLT Leather, plus a good selection of other leatherwear and accessories. It's the kind of place that understands Manchester's gay community, not just generally, but the different styles and subcultures within it.
If you're in town, or even if you live there, clonezone is an easy stop for browsing or buying. Their full inventory is online at clonezonedirect.co.uk.

The guys in Clone Zone were very helpful, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend a visit
I left a bad review because of some products with AI art on it. I still don't agree with it being sold but I've spoken to a friend and it's been pointed out to me that a bad review only looks bad for this shop which isn't fair because everyone who works here has always been lovely to me. You get service in here that you don't get in high end shops. I hope that whoever chooses the products avoids AI in the future even if it's just because they're a risk with the attitude to ai today but I still think people should shop here and support the Village, just buy something without AI on it!
Amazing customer service from Thistle. They helped me pick out a new cage and gave me lots of useful advice and tips. Thank you.
I love shopping here! It's the only adult shop in Manchester that takes itself seriously and the stuff is amazing. Cris and Thistle are both fantastic if you ever need any help, I've even called the store for advice before and they're really helpful. I do agree with the previous review that one of the cashier's can be rude. There's a skinny guy with glasses who acts like he just wants everyone to leave but if he's on I just go to the other till -theres another one downstairs. Thanks guys!
Rude cashier guy. Saying all poppers price is same but written obviously that they have different prices. He is giving vile comments trying to be helpful but not really helpful. Seems clueless of the price ranges or maybe just wanting to make some sell to keep money for himself. Very disappointing and feels taking advantage of customers. I pity his soul.
Me and two friends had an amazing time there. Thanks to the wonderful Dale who helped one of us try is first rubber and also helped me re find my love for it Thanks Dale. Your awesome
Generally a good store however its such a shame that you still can't Gove the correct discount to Black Bluf member cards recently I have been in twice and both occasions only been given 10% instead of the 17.5% which I have no problem getting at London or Birmingham Stores, but Manchester you just don't give it. So in future I just will take my business elsewhere and spend my money at Birmingham
