Vintage Shops in Leeds

Vintage.

Vintage clothing is a generic term for new or second hand garments originating from a previous era. The phrase is also used in connection with a retail outlet, e.g. "vintage clothing store." It can also be used as an adjective: "This dress is vintage."
The word vintage is copied from its use in wine terminology, as a more elegant-seeming euphemism for "old" clothes.

I quite like the idea of how old the clothes are, as there may be stories and interesting anecdotes behind the items, which makes them even more special. Its sometimes a pain going through the items too, but when you find that special scarf or bag hidden at the bag, its like a sense of achievement.

Vintage Clothes Shop... In Scunthorpe?

Vintage Clothes shops are fantastic, they are like treasure chests with many precious items waiting to be discovered, and I am lucky enough to be involved in a project with Voluntary Action in Scunthorpe, to help open Scunthorpe's first Vintage Shop. The aim is to help young people, and with the money from the shop, it can be put towards workshops etc. to help young people make the most of their spare time, and maybe even build skills to help them later on in life.

This is the website for all Vintage-y type research... still under maintenance.

The shop itself we want to be similar to others in the fact that the furniture will be old, to create the right atmosphere, although originally the idea was Ikea furniture... which soon got scrapped.
