If Vintage Pieces Could Talk…


I think everyone who buys or sells vintage knows that part of its charm is the stories that come with the items. The lives they have touched, the owners they’ve had and the time and place they come from.

Another aspect of this occurred to me recently as an item went off to a very special destination and that’s the lives that you send them on to.

I’ve seen items that probably had spent blameless forgotten existences at the back of a drawer since the 1950s go to someone that loves them and will wear them proudly day in day out. I’ve seen pieces go off to glamorous new lives; the chique hat, unworn for 40 years, that finally make it to Paris in spring time. Other items find very high-end homes that the original owners could only have dreamed of. They are now rendered special by time and period.  

Over the next while I hope to introduce a few items here that have a special story to tell.
