Northern Quarter paint, new from COAT and Colours of Arley

Louisa Tratalos, Colours of Arley founder says, “It’s so exciting to bring two elements of my hometown to people’s walls, the Sundays of my childhood were spent walking around Alderley Edge and my subsequent teen years meant exploring Manchester’s music venues in the Northern Quarter.”
