One Saturday afternoon my mum and I decided to have a girly catch up over coffee and cake at a lovely little tea room in Rochester.
I then wanted to have a browse around the shops and enjoy the sunny weather we were having. I stumbled across a vintage store called the 44 Store. I decided to take a peek (as the retro bicycle outside wasn't enough to lure me in).
It's a tiny store, filled with clothes, bags and shoes. I was browsing round when I saw a tanned leather 80's vintage Prada handbag tucked behind many other items. I couldn't believe the my eyes when i saw the price tag, £40. The leather just called to me and at such a bargain it would be wrong of me not to purchase this beautiful bag.
I then dragged my mum back into the store so she could take in the wonders and secret treasures of this little shop. That is when I noticed a black velvet coat made by GUESS for £20 - this day was getting better and better. It was in pristine condition.
I have made regular visits now back to the store, however it does vary in what items they have and good items such as mine get snapped up very quickly.
I have been searching for vintage jewellery, however finding something vintage that wasn't going to break the bank was very difficult. Till a friend from work told me about her website called Curiosities of London Link that specialises in vintage jewellery.
I am still yet to purchase something but have my eye on a beautiful scarf pin and tiger eye ring - but will have to wait now till next payday.
