Are you a vintage aficionado?
‘Person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity subject to pass time.’
In this case anything to do with ‘Vintage’…
I was born to parents both ‘antique’ and ‘vintage’ aficionados!
So ‘vintage’ is in my blood…
For over 40 years my family have owned the Almshouse Arcade
Bought and sold antique furniture, collectables, dolls, toys, cars large and small!
Now vintage clothing…
A Vintage shop is a store that sells clothing and accessories from a previous era, at least 20 years old.
In contrast to thrift stores that sell both vintage and contemporary used clothing.
You might find vintage pieces in second-hand shops, but what you will mainly find is just old clothing.
In a vintage shops, you will find a curated collection of unique pieces in a timeless style with a knowledgeable owner to help you.

Handmade clothing from eras like the 1940s & 1950’s which may not have a label but is still an unique piece of vintage clothing and still can be repaired or altered..
