“Vintage fashion has been one of the great loves of my life for as long as I can remember. It stems from the idea of capturing the glamour of bygone eras, when dressing took time and planning. Handmade techniques used to lovingly create many of the garments seam by seam, or gem by gem, and cut before machinery and modern sizing. There is the beauty in the smallest details, like the way little weights were put into some garments, so that dresses or tops wouldn’t flap up.”
Yves Saint Laurent SAS also known as Saint Laurent, is a French luxury fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé.

DESIGNER VINTAGE JEWELLERY
COMING SOON
Every time I fling my wardrobe doors open, I fall even more in love with my collection of eclectic, rare, vintage pieces. Be it a Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry Courreges or a Kenzo Takada garment. For me, clothes are my passion. They tell a story.
Every day is dress-up day. Buttery soft silks made into dresses. Box pleats. Knife pleats… the combinations are endless. Through my playful style, I celebrate the freedom of dressing in timeless garments. The eternal appeal of vintage fashion makes it easy to combine with contemporary designer finds, juxtaposing the old with the new.
My collection spans over 20 longer here from the 70,s years of designer finds, handpicked directly from ateliers, boutiques and vintage shops. While their silhouettes may echo bygone fashion moments their fresh energy means that they can be worn time and time again for years to come.
Vintage clothing is bought for the love of fashion and a desire to give a second life to unique pieces. For me, shopping for vintage fashion shows an appreciation for quality, creativity and unapologetic elegance not found anywhere else.
Imagine strolling into a room in a deliciously vintage YSL blazer, its sharp shoulders a signature that still alid SS25 commanding attention and its sleek tailoring revealing the artistic eye required to make it. If this sensation could be bottled, it would make someone a millionaire.
After all, anyone can buy new, but what is the fun of that?

Fallen down the rabbit hole of online vintage stores and now falling in love with vintage clothes? Shopping for a special occasion? Grab yourself a rare piece of fashion history, in excellent condition from some of the world's most famous fashion houses.
All my designer items have been carefully sourced, loved and occasionally twirled in front of a full-length mirror (with gusto, I may add). They have stood the test of time and these vintage treasures are ready to hang pride of place in the wardrobes of fashion lovers far and wide. I could have kept these garments for myself. But, to keep collecting, I must sell my vintage designer clothing.
Each piece has a past, a personality and possibly a better social life than the majority of us. From stunning 90s Allegra Hicks kaftans that take you seamlessly from pool to party in Capri to Burberry wool skirts that make boardroom fashion anything but boring - I am always updating my shop with new arrivals. So, vintage lovers, dive in. Have a good rummage. Try something wild. No one is judging. You never know, you may just find a hidden gem that was just waiting to hop into your wardrobe.
