As the winter wind swirls closer and our cold weather wear bullies its way to the front, so too do we begin to see more and more vintage pieces popping out of wardrobes, shawls, coveted corduroy, clutches and caps.
You will see dedicated vintage lovers covered from top to toe, others sporting only a few vintage pieces preferring a balance of old and new, and some like to dabble at times, depending on their mood.
