Curated, wearable and easy-to-style vintage that works in your wardrobe now and forever.

10/10/2024

We’re back!! 💫 Cannot wait to pop up at next month with a beautiful collection of suedes, leathers, trenches and more autumnal goodness. We have been busy sourcing away since our last pop-up with the wonderful (thank you to everyone who shopped us at Mia’s beautiful space in September), and while it’s all a bit busy squeezing things in with full-time work, we can’t wait to be bring you some gorgeous vintage to see you through the winter months - and beyond, naturally 🍁🍂

Previews coming soon 💫

Little preview of the things we are sending down to for a restock of our rail. For those of us who are embracing autumn, we’ve got this incredible Avoca Handweavers knit, hand-knitted in Ireland with the most incredible texture, as well as some trench coats with a twist. And for those of us off to grab some late summer sun, some beautiful light vests and tops - which are also perfect for layering under chunky knits when back in Blighty.

Find us until the end of the month exclusively at:

Big labels coming to our residency at for September 💫 This one is a silk and cashmere tailored blazer from Escada - beautifully soft and nips in at the waist. And the buttons!

Autumn is probably my favourite time to source for - all the rich colours and blazers and coats and blouses 🤤 As always we will have pieces in leather, suede, wool, silk at the pop up… all natural fibres from some of our favourite labels.

Mia is opening the doors to her new shop in Reigate at 9am on Thursday, and we CANNOT wait. Expect preloved pieces for everyone, and a selection of curated indie brands (like us!) on rotation. Details all in the 2nd slide 👉

WE’RE BACK! After a little hiatus (partly for summer, partly for life!), we are easing back into the vintage with a pop-up at the wonderful ’s new shop in beautiful Reigate in Surrey. We will be there all of September, and all the pieces will be exclusive (so not on our website), so it’s a great excuse to make a day of it and visit Mia’s wonderful new space and shop some gorgeous preloved (she does the most exceptional pieces - eyes on the dresses!) and our signature vintage in natural fibres from those quality heritage labels.

Earthy tones, cottons and linens coming to Slow Style Weekender in Stoke Newington in a couple of weeks’ time. In summer, easy, throw-on-and-go pieces are king so I’ve focused on sourcing the classics that you don’t need to think twice about how to style/wear.

Would love to see as many of your lovely faces as possible 🫶 There’s a stellar roster of brands across the weekend, as well as yoga, embroidery workshops and a panel talk with some brilliant voices in the sustainable fashion sphere - find all the details a couple of posts back. Big thanks to & for organising and inviting us along.

Comiiing sooooon 💛

Check in and an update! 👋

It’s been a while! A little carousel of things I’ve been up to recently… namely Italian food, exhibitions, and Liberty-tripping.
Highly recommend Women in Revolt at the Tate Britain, as well as The Cult of Beauty at The Wellcome Collection, and also The Fragrance Room at Liberty (see ‘The Noseum’ on slide 10 👃, so good!). Both exhibitions are quite dense content wise but so worth it if you can dedicate a few hours to them, both cover such a breadth of history and current societal and cultural topics in a really considered way.

Anyway… what about the vintage?? The truth is with my current job, I haven’t had a lot of (if any) time to dedicate to sourcing/photographing/marketing/social media, and that looks likely to continue. So, I’ll be changing how I do things from now, uploading things here and to the website as and when I find them and they’re ready, instead of dropping things in ‘edits’. It’ll make the workload more manageable for me and means you get some great vintage in more regular intervals.

As always, thank you for sticking around… social media is really tougher than ever for small operators so your support means everything 🙏

A little moment on the grid for this uh-mazing blazer which is off to its new home 💫 Such a brilliant structured shape - smartens up any jeans and tee/shirt ensemble. So pleased it’s getting a new lease of life 🩶

Thanks for your orders over the past few days - all being posted tomorrow. Keep an eye on stories tomorrow for a round-up of lovely bits still available.

Weekend! 💓 Popping my face here as it’s been a while… I’ve been a bit off the ball lately with all things vintage due to starting a new job, but I’m still here and I have an AMAZING edit of vintage trench coats coming soon (I’m shooting them tomorrow), so stay tuned for that - aiming for a launch late next week/next weekend. I’ve been sneakily wearing at least one of these coats recently and you 👏 will 👏 not 👏 find 👏 quality 👏 like 👏 this 👏 on 👏 the 👏 high 👏 street.

In the meantime the sun is out (kind of) and that’s a good enough reason for me to shun the denim this weekend and reach for the dresses (and sunglasses… rather optimistically 😂)

Dress - old
Jumper -
Shoes -
Jewellery - all vintage
