How do I place an order?
Choose a product, and size and quantity “add to cart” a Green message will appear “VIEW CART → Product successfully added to your cart.

Please note that items will only stay in the cart for 1 hour, after that it will be back up for sale.
In “checkout” there two address sections

When can I expect my parcel?

Once your order has been collected or mailed, we send you the tracking details. Tracking details can not sent before it has been collected or processed. You will need to follow your parcel up online, so please make sure you have given us a valid email address and cellphone number. Invalid contact details means processing takes longer.

What is considered vintage?
Vintage garments are usually second hand garments, dating back a few years and even much older. Sometimes we are lucky enough to find vintage garments that have not been worn, in this case we will clearly state this in the description. All our vintage garments have been washed, cleaned, checked for any damages like mismatched buttons and broken zips, etc and are ready to wear.
Where does it all come from?
Our garments come from all over the world! Basically you are getting the cream of the clothing crop! Nothing but the best for Vintage Lovers.
Can I collaborate / work with the brand / set up an interview?
