Cocktail Vintage
Friday, December 17th, 2010Does anyone know any good shops for vintage cocktail dresses in London?
Dear Sarah M, Your best bet is probably Beyond Retro (http://www.beyondretro.com/). They have a branch in Soho, which is worth seeing, but their warehouse Cheshire Street in the East End is much bigger and better for search and has a huge section of dress. If you are heading east, Absolute Vintage (http://www.absolutevintage.co.uk/) on Hanbury Street is also worth a try and vintage-lovers Rokit (http://www.rokit.co.uk) has a shop on Brick Lane and in Covent Garden and Camden. Otherwise, you can make your way west to the area of Notting Hill and head Relik (http://www.relliklondon.co.uk/) which stocks designer pieces vintage, or Dolly Diamond (020 7792 2479) on Pembridge Road.
