Tell us all about Medley Vintage, how it began, it’s journey etc…
“I’ve always loved vintage and some of my first and favourite pieces were handed down by my mum - she lived in London and wore so much vintage herself. I started selling vintage as I was hoarding so much but loved collecting. Medley was launched in 2018 and has been trading online ever since. The focus is mostly highly curated vintage but I also repurpose vintage fabrics into own designs which I sell in very limited collections.”
One of the main reasons I have such a love for vintage, is the my passion for historical fashion and costume. I find history in general so interesting and I love to look back and see how styles and trends changed over the years. So I really felt like sitting down, looking back at the 1970s and what an incredible decade it was for fashion and style…
I’ve been interested in clothes ever since I can remember and shopping secondhand has been a part of my life from the beginning. I love that from a very young age my parents would let me dress myself and I would have so much fun coming up with my own outfits. I totally believe this is where my love of fashion started…
I often look to film & tv for fashion inspiration. Period pieces are among my favourite things to watch and I love trying to recreate outfits from them…
I founded and have been running Florence May Vintage for over 6 years now and over time I have learnt so much and put all of that into how I run my business…
It was such a peaceful day, driving along in the sunshine, floating through the expanse of golden flowers. I wore my vintage, white, prairie dress…
Secondhand & vintage shopping has become really popular and on trend recently which is brilliant obviously for the environment and cutting down on clothing waste, however I’ve often been asked ‘how do you start shopping secondhand?’…
