Up-vintage. or just a great excuse to buy vintage up.

Wandering around Spitalfields on a Tuesday I ran into a couple running a stall selling these great blouses, they even had a little collection with re-worked Versace designs on one side. I don't know what I prefer more about the pop-up stall, the fact that it is all handmade from recycled fabric into more shapely designs by one fantastic seamstress or the fact that its all hung on black velvet Givency hangers. Surely at £20 a pop this beats Topshop- well worth a scout about the East end.

Vintage represents an opportunity to model beautifully made clothes that are individual and a unique part of history but best of all vintage is environmentally friendly as its a purely recycled product. Saving on energy during production and on landfill. Contemporary designers are constantly being inspired by archives and their stories, translating long forgotten designs into modern pieces.
