I found this lovely English-made vintage wool coat in the Acorns Hospice charity shop this morning. It was marked up at a rather costly £7.95 but I knew it was a good buy by the number of elderly people who stopped to admire it when I tried it on. The older generation certainly appreciate great British quality when they see it.
The pussy bow blouse (30p), brass earrings (25p) and vintage Escada lion's head belt (10p) were car boot sale buys and the vintage umbrella (20p) was found at a jumble sale. The Furla bag (£1) and Edwardian-lady leather lace up boots (£5) were some of Saturday's charity shop bargains.
I didn't notice the bag's designer label until I got it home.

How do you always manage to look so good and find such bargains? I am in awe - and I never use that word lightly!
ReplyDeleteDo you umm and ahh? I ummed and ahhed about a scarf today and it was only £1. I wish I'd got it now.
What a bargain! Lovely coat, and I love those boots.
ReplyDeleteOh and the door sign, nice touch!

You buy some good bargains!, that whole outfit inc accessories is like less that £20?!, dunno how you do it' but its fantastic! The area that i live in-London, is wayyy over priced, overmarked-they take advantage of the fact that 'vintage' is in vogue so increase by crazy amounts. You'd be hard pushed to find a good quality wool coat like the one you are wearing for less than £30/40.
ReplyDeleteI need to be looking in more downmarket areas methinks :)
Great post as always,

Yes, you always seem to get the best bargains, Vix. The car boot sales around here seem just full of rubbishy old baby toys and sandwich makers - never any vintage bargains :(
