A favourite Vintage store in London I love to visit is called Paper Dress Vintage. It is such a cute Vintage store. It is nicely merchandised and laid out in order or era. 1920’s , 1940-50’s etc.
The last time I was in the store I got a lovely grey wool Jacket and a 1950’s tea dress. On this visit I wanted to get some accessories and some quirky stand out items that were really one of a kind. I started of course looking at jackets as I love vintage wool and tweed jackets. I picked up a lovely Brown suede jacket yes folks suede! But it was so lush and really expensive looking and the colour was very rich with no fading. I also spotted some lovely 1960’s ladies accessories like little compact mirrors,makeup compacts and cigarette cases with amazing feminine detail. I also tried on some 1950’s dresses and had a look at handbags and beautiful scarfs. I also seen a fantastic 1950s sporting jacket ( either a boating or cricket jacket) it was so nice on, fitted well and the colour was fab but I wasn’t 100%. Of course I went back and purchased the item!!

The staff are amazing. They make you feel so welcome and at ease. They don’t over-do the customer service experience but know when to step in to help with sizes of take a pile of clothes off your hands and leave them over to the fitting room for you while you continue to look because you are so excited lol. The Girls were fantastic with a very friendly approach.
