Three really, really brilliant new (to me) vintage shops in London
prairie lovers unite! (and come this way)!
Over the last few months, it feels like I’ve had a funny relationship with clothes. I’ve spoken a little about this on Instagram; but have often felt overwhelmed when it comes to getting myself dressed each day. There’s been a few too many The Good, The Bad and The Ugly style-standoffs with me and the wardrobe pre-9am and my god is a big sort out hot on the horizon as we enter a new season- but! But! Little did I know, that it turns out all I think I really needed was to go and see some beautiful white lace ‘30s dresses hanging up with some good friends on a Saturday afternoon in a vintage shop. Thank GOD. Maybe that was it all along! Perhaps it wasn’t so existential after all…
Anyway! Jokes aside (I really will be sorting out my wardrobe next week- more on this soon), last weekend I visited three of the best vintage shops I’ve come across in London in years and I thought I’d share them here. It’s very rare that I get giddy about a new shop discovery or see something somewhere that my algorithm hasn’t presented to me on a platter first, but through an afternoon stroll with friends- conversations spent saying ‘I’ve had this place on my list!’ and them responding with ‘Oh! I know this amazing place next door we should pop to afterwards!’ we hit gold- and from one friend to another, I thought I’d share three of the spots we visited last weekend…
