Accessorize

Gate side in Terminal 1, Accessorize is the quick fix.

By the main departures shopping run in Terminal 1 at BHX, Accessorize is the place for last‑minute scarves, jewellery and bags when you realise something’s missing after security. Stock skews high-street fashion rather than luxury, closer to what you’d see in a UK city centre branch than a duty free designer shop.

Prices sit at normal UK high-street levels, not duty free; earrings often land in the £6–£12 bracket, with small crossbody bags commonly around £20–£35. It’s all airside in T1, so you can browse after clearing security and before heading to gates for airlines like Jet2, TUI, and Ryanair.

Range covers travel wallets, small backpacks, beach bags, costume jewellery, hair clips, sunglasses and seasonal bits like sun hats or beanies, depending on the month. Kids’ accessories often get a dedicated stand, handy if you need a £5–£10 distraction gift before a 2–3 hour flight to Spain, Greece, or Turkey.

Staff generally handle quick turnarounds well, and the small footprint means you can walk the whole store in under five minutes if you’re tight on a 40‑minute boarding window. Returns follow standard UK high-street rules, so keep the paper receipt if you’re buying a £30 bag you’re not fully sure about.

Tip: check the sale stand first; airport branches often push end-of-line sunglasses and bags with 30–50% off, which can undercut the usual £15–£25 accessory spend by a fair bit.
