My love affair with vintage is my oldest memory, where my sister & I would search for something to wear that nobody else had. Naturally we found vintage.
After graduating university with a degree in fashion design, which I balanced with a part time job and interning as a fashion stylist, I knew that fashion was going to be a huge part of my future. Just 24 with itchy feet and a desire and hunger to explore the world I left England & travelled the world for a year.
With fresh eyes & burning drive to achieve my goals, or at least have a bloody good try, I came back energised, determined and thankful. With just £20 I started my e-commerce vintage store in March 2012.
Fast forward 5 years and this is where we meet, I am pinching myself to make sure this is not a dream. I have now sold my vintage clothing, accessories & home décor to over 30 different countries, expanded to selling on Etsy, Depop and even built my own website. I have learnt more about vintage than I ever thought possible and have loved every minute.
With fashion, travel & design now a part of who I am, my creative skill set, sharp focus on high-quality and innate eye for detail, I am excited to see where my vintage journey can take us and me =D
I love and respect animals and have been a vegetarian since age 15. As a regular donor, to Soi Dogs, The Dogs Trust, and supporter of animal charities and rights, real fur is cruel and unacceptable to me, for that reason I do not sell real fur.
