My Little Vintage Black Book
I wanted to share all my favourite spots for vintage inspiration and sourcing, from chic stores to instagram accounts and more.
Truly a treasure trove at the end of Golbourne Road, home to archive pieces from almost every decade, including Margiela, Dior and Galliano. I would really recommend visiting and taking your time looking at the amazing selection they have.
Having started selling vintage pieces through drops on Instagram stories, The Vintage Marche now has its own website and if you’re a vintage Gucci fan - it’s heaven on earth. My top picks include a Vintage Gucci Horsebit belt and matching clutch.
Based mainly on Instagram, but keep your eyes peeled for the pop-ups they do twice a year, as it’s most definitely worth a visit (or multiple). Home to anything chic and coveted, from a rare Tiffany x Elsa Peretti necklace to a Mid Century one-off table, there is something for everyone, even if it’s just inspiration.
A stunning selection of carefully sourced items, from Old Celine to Maison Margiela. I have my eye on this Hermes silver bottle necklace, it would make a chic pendant necklace or a great accompaniment to an evening outfit.
My favourite place to find vintage Levi’s. I love the oversized fit of men’s Levi’s, and the selection here means you never leave empty handed.
This is a must visit every time I’m in the city. Founded in Tucson, Arizona in 1974, Desert Vintage has since spread its archive to 34 Orchard Street, Manhattan.
This hub of treasures is a culmination from a group of sisters and their mother’s lifelong love of luxury, vintage, and reworked fashion. Sheer trousers are perfect for summer as a lightweight pairing with a blazer or shirt, and the above Gucci by Tom Ford S/S 2000 sheer trousers are an ideal option. Their Instagram is worth a follow for the daily inspiration alone.
