Have you been to a vintage fashion fair recently? Or, are you planning to sell your vintage wares at a fair any time soon? I'd really love to hear about it. Perhaps you attend them on a regular basis. It doesn't matter where you live. Vintage enthusiasts are everywhere!
Tell us about your best buy and post a photo - we like eye-candy!
In addition, if you're planning on selling at a vintage fair any time soon, tell us about it. What kind of vintage will you be selling? Please take a photo of your stall and share it with us.
I bought lots of goodies from my own local fair including this soft velvet jacket from the 1930's.
The Vintage Fashion Fair is held annually at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield, Manchester. There's over 100 stalls with everything from vintage buttons and beads to Victorian capes, flapper dresses, vintage fabrics and old magazines. That was back in February - my first visit. I was like a kid in a candy shop! I spent all day buying, talking and drooling over the merchandise.
What I love about these fairs is that quite a lot of the sellers don't sell online and so it's the only chance you get of buying their vintage wares! In addition, it's great to meet and talk with others who share the same passion. I wasn't selling, I was there purely to buy, buy, buy! The stalls at this particular venue cost around £90 but it's such a popular event with hundreds of visitors. I'm really looking forward to the next fair. Let's hear about yours!
Another purchase. Vintage brown cord opera bag with unusual side-clasp fasteners.
