Last Sunday, I joined Sara and Holly for a spot of vintage shopping at Cecil House Primrose Hill. The venue is an old community hall giving the whole affair a real school fête feel. The fairs are arranged by Vintage Fashion London who can be found here - next one coming up in November.
Because the vendors who come to the fair are independent there's a real mix of price ranges to reflect the mix of vintage labels on show. Retrouvé (the lovely seller who will be at Dalston) had a vast collection of Sambo dresses in silks of all colours. These are gorgeous 60s originals with flattering cinched in waists and elegant necklines. I only just stopped myself from buying a real K Middy number in Royal Blue.
So if this and my previous post on BLITZ has sufficiently whetted your appetite for a little bit of old world glamour, you'll be very excited to hear about the Dalston Department Store which opens next week. In the words of Ginny, the lady behind Retrouvé's:
"Bringing together a carefully curated selection of up-and-coming UK brands & collaborating with East London Design Show, Dalston Department Store will house independent menswear, womens wear, jewellery, interior & product designer brands. So peeps, here's your chance to peruse Retrouvé's pop-up store amongst other fabulous brands, including Dlux luxury sheepskin, Katie Rowland jewellery, menswear outdoor brand D.S.DUNDEE."
So as you can see there's vintage and more to be had in abundance. I'll be going down on Thursday night to *shock horror* shop and drink. Don't tell anyone but do come along too. All the details here.
