BUY SELL OR HIRE
A thoughtfully curated collection of vintage clothing specialising in (but not exclusive to) highly collectable rare designer labels such as Ossie Clark, Dior, Biba and Bill Gibb.
I sell vintage clothes from all the eras but that are timeless. Made of fantastic fabrics, amazing quality, and moreover completely one-off. Infused with the spirit of those who've danced the fandango in times we could only dream of. How precious these pieces were to the previous owner and the stories they tell has left me with a huge passion to thoughtfully pass them on to the next loving owner.
SHOP
Consumer focus is shifting away from the disastrous effects of fast fashion and thankfully shifting to more eco friendly and sustainable ways of dressing. Vintage clothing has been here all along to help you fulfil this desire.
My personal leaning is towards the 1970's when as a kid I was surrounded by rock bands in tight denim and leather, hippies in fabulous flowing dresses or disco dancers in vibrant colours. I was dressed in little smock dresses or denim jumpsuits skipping along behind. The spirit of it has never left me.
It brings me a great amount of joy curating a collection that I can now pass on to you.
"GLORIA" THE CRYSTAL VINTAGE DRESSING UP BOX
'Gloria' is the Crystal Vintage Dressing Up Box, a 7.5 tonne horse box converted into a unique mobile shop, self sufficient in power via solar, converted using almost nothing but recycled materials 'wombled' from skips, recycling plants, and from what existed inside already, re-used in another capacity. As seen on series 2, ep4 George Clarke's Amazing Spaces on Channel 4.
