Vintage Hints and Tips 1: Markets


Right bargain hunters here's tip number 1 for you: markets. Most vintage shoppers are already pretty canny about finding a gem in car boot sales, vintage shops and online but one place they often neglect is markets. Most cities and larger towns will have indoor markets and most larger markets will have second hand clothes and shoes stalls which sell items at second hand rather than vintage prices. As with all vintage shopping you will have to sort through a lot of nonsense but, with a bit of patience, you've got a good chance of finding something a little bit special. Take, for instance, this lace covered beige dress: I wanted something beautiful but a bit different to wear to my uni hall's summer ball and I found it for a mere £3 on a market stall. Brilliant.
