Vintage Threads Fair Tomorrow

Our monthly fair takes place tomorrow, Saturday the 6th of August
Where: The Circle Club (just off St.Anns square in Manchester city centre)
When: From 12-5.30
What to expect: Reworked and original vintage clothes for men and women, from £5 dresses to Barbour jackets. There has been the occasional Chanel item.... There are often several Belstaffjackets and there is always a lot of accessories.
Why we love it: There are a selection of stalls so we are guaranteed to find something we like. There are clothes for men and women so everyone is happy. It is very unlikely that we will buy something that one of our friends already owns. It's in the city centre so an easy stop off after we've been to Topshop. It's less crowded than the high street on a Saturday. It's exciting to rummage through and find the best bits. It's cheap!

Vintage Threads Best Bits

Here are more of our favourite bits from the last fair - to give any Vintage Threads virgins an idea of what they can expect next Saturday.

Occasionally we are lucky enough to see something that we had eyed up at a previous fair after we have had a month to save money.... but don't expect to see the lace coat as stylespotterfashionblogger grabbed that one from Pillbox Vintage at the last fair.

Vintage Threads Style Icon: Alice White

We love this gorgeous silent film star who was known for her style as much as she was for her acting! Her look is kitch, glam, cute and very flirty; a look which is perfect for our girly girls to buy in to next Saturday.

80's Style Inspiration; Pretty In Pink

A post for our shoppers who love the fabulous tack and shoulder pads of the eighties. We love the fantastically ugly but great jackets that the boys wear and are planning on adding to our clip on earring collection at the next vintage threads fair - they'd go down a treat in the Northern Quarter.
