Better quality: Vintage clothing is often better-made than modern clothing, and it's often easier to repair and alter as well. This means you'll be able to wear your favorite piece for years to come, which is something you can't always say for modern clothes. The same goes for jewellery- costume jewellery of the 70's and 80's are much better quality and have already stood the test of time.

Sustainability: Shopping vintage is a sustainable way to shop. By buying secondhand clothing, you're keeping clothes out of landfill and reducing the demand for new clothing production, which can be harmful to the environment.

Unique style: Vintage clothing is unique and can help you stand out from the crowd. You can find pieces that are no longer available in stores, and you can create a look that is all your own. Just create your own style with shoes, bags and jewellery. If you attend a party you will be sure not to have the same as anyone else.

Lower cost: Vintage clothing and accessories are often less expensive than new pieces of the same quality and it can hold long-lasting value. If you decide to resell your vintage clothes, you can often recoup some or all of your initial investment.

Creativity: Vintage clothing encourages creativity and experimentation with fashion. You can mix and match vintage pieces with modern clothing to create a unique look that reflects your personal style. You can have fun with a particular era or style that means something to you.

Buying vintage clothing and accessories is a bit like buying art, antiques and vintage homewares- each piece tells the story of a particular time. Each piece of vintage you own you are continuing that story by giving the item a new life. It's fun, it's interesting, good for the planet and turns you into your own stylist! What's not to like?
