Vintage Fairs in Brighton and Sutton Coldfield

Phew, another jam packed weekend for us! On Friday afternoon we dashed down to the south coast for the first Brighton Vintage Fair on Saturday. I love Brighton, it's such a cool place to visit, full of interesting shops and iconic sights - the pier, the pavillion, the beach! We had a good old look around on Friday, a walk along the prom and enjoyed hot dogs and falafels at Red Veg before getting an early night to be fresh as a daisy for the fair on Saturday.





The fair was jam packed and a huge success, we met some thoroughly lovely people and sold some of our new season stock, including an amazing oversized red leather jacket with cream faux fur collar, and a wolf print oversized sweatshirt which had attracted lots of attention.

Next stop was a little closer to home, Sutton Coldfield, for the Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair. This was another new fair, organised by our friend Sabina of Rehaberdashery Vintage. As with all new fairs, we didn't really know what to expect, but we were very impressed. The venue was Sutton Coldfield Town Hall which is a beautiful and expansive building, which provided space for fifty (yes, 50) stalls of vintage, handmade goods, homewares, art, even jams and chutneys! There was also vintage makeovers and hair styling by LeKeux Events, henna tattooing, and cakes by Sweet Disposition (who sold out by 1.30pm so we didn't get any - boo hoo!). To top it off there was a fashion show and jive and charleston lessons by Strictly Jitterbug, all in all it was a great fun day out.

Now we have to get down to replenishing our stock for the Leicester Vintage Fair this coming weekend!

X Factor star wears a Scrabble ring!

Our Scrabble rings have long been one of our best sellers. After all, what's not to love - it's recycled, it's personalised, it's quirky.... and now it's on the biggest TV show in the country!

Yes, here's the lovely Esther Campbell from Belle Amie wearing her Scrabble ring. And doesn't she look lovely. With taste in jewellery like that, she'll go far!

Get yours here!

Fair season starts with a bang at Leeds and London

Hey guys, sorry we have not checked in for a while, it's been a busy month! Not only have we been busy getting out all the Autumn and Winter stock, but we've also been updating the website, making new jewellery designs, and buying even more stock! When we've had a chance to leave the office we've been meeting some of you lovely folks at vintage fairs.

First up was Leeds at the Leeds Met union on 28th September, which was excellent. The students were loving our dainty charm bracelets, vintage badges and leather jackets in particular.






Following that was the London Vintage Fair at Bloomsbury Lanes, which is the fabbest venue ever for a vintage fair - it's a 1950's style bowling alley with its own diner! The fair was good fun, with batwing jumpers, watch necklaces and oversized shirts proving the best sellers of the day. We'll be back in November for more fun times (may even squeeze in a spot of bowling!)










Tomorrow we are off to Brighton for the Vintage Fair on Saturday, and then it's a swift trip back up to the Midlands for the Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair on Sunday. Who said this vintage selling lark was easy, eh?!
