Well I've only been open a couple of weeks and people are bringing boxes of vintage treasures through my door, so far there's been this fabulous bespoke made vintage 1950s 3 piece tweed suit in a brown windowpane check with a hint of yellow  and copper lining. It's in a good size too at 44-46" chest and 32" inside leg, the trouser waist is 40" and along with the jacket have been let out at some point in their history. The suit is dated 1954.      The same people brought in a stash of 1950s and 60s cocktail dresses and evening gowns, below is a fabulous lime green silk number. Another silk and such a classic style this is a timeless full length evening gown. In the most beautiful copper silk with gold and ivory bands running horizontally, I love it.   Below is a wild and colourful Peter Barron 1960s dress, made from Tricel fabric which is usually used for silky cravats. This dress is lightweight and slinky with the most intense ora...

Wow I feel like I haven't come up for air at all this year, it's been all steaming, ironing, dressing the dummies and waiting for sunshine to shine through into the studio to photograph all the new vintage stock.  There have been over 46 items added recently and I'm not even halfway through, I still have loads to go - phewee. If you're on Pinterest you can follow my newstock board, I add to it every time I list another item so you can see it all in one place. and it looks great on there. There's so much more for the vintage gentlemen with vintage dinner suits, formwal wear, tails and tuxedos as well as lots of tweed for both men and women and a whole bunch of Tootal cravats and scarves which I am currently in the process of photographing along with a whole lot more waistcoats too. I hope you like it all and find something that's just for you. If there's anything you'd like me to keep my eyes open for too then just let me know via the site and ...

I forgot to post a Happy Birthday anniversary post, but I've been going for one year and a month now and still here, justabout woohoo. It's been really hard just selling online, with a very small customer base viewing my stock and website but sales have been trickling in every month and I have to say our customers are truly fabulous. I am still on the waiting list to do local vintage fairs here in Somerset, so fingers crossed I'll get a slot soon ;o). Over the past year my direction of stock and customers have also veered towards the chaps and revival crowd, so I have a lot of vintage tweed and vintage furs, which are selling well. Overall I have over 500 vintage and antique items of clothing and accessories including homewares and collectibles and vintage uniforms too, perfect for the Goodwood Revival - so if you haven't check out Vintage Vampalicious yet - what are you waiting for, come on over and take a look, it'd be great to see you!

  Lots of new stock to be uploaded to the site this week, I can't stop myself from buying when I see so much fab stuff.  For the vintage ladies, here's a sneeky peek at; a pair of polka dot gloves, a notso vintage but very retro peach satin scarf with ruffles, a smart charcoal grey ladies tweed swing coat with a lovely silvery grey quilted satin lining, a stunning Little Red Riding Hood red velvet evening cape, with quilted pink lining and a hood, an asymetrical fox fur collar/stole with adjustable fastener, a sienna coloured ladies tweed hat which are the hot fashion accessory this season, a chic silk Richard Allen scarf and a very glam diamante bel, perfect for the party season. Then for the chaps A gorgeous grey tweed 2 piece suit, a knitted waistcoat with pockets or as we used to call them a Grandad Cardy, I bought a couple of mens tweed overcoats, only one shown here. I also have one already listed on the site too, and a lovely quality pair of oxblood/cherry b...

Yikes it's been a while hasn't it. I natter every day practically on Facebook and am uploading new items almost every day too, yet when it comes to the old blog I have been somewhat lax, oops. Well it's feeling like Christmas at Vampalicious Towers this week, with new deliveries coming in by the day, opening up boxes of new vintage goodies to upload onto the site, and I've started to feel all gilded and sparkly, so have added a metallic category for you to search through, to achieve the Baroque and Roll trend for the festive season. I've also taken delivery of a few more vintage evening dress and formalwear items for the chaps, along with several stunning tweed blazers, a couple of  double breasted tuxedos, a white and black one, Akco cummerbunds, an original pair of white spats and shiny patent dance shoes and to top it all off a gorgeous silk Christie's top hat .  I also have the white tie, the tails and some stiff fronted shirts and stiff c...

The great British summer, giving us glorious sunny skies on one day then torrential rain and floods the next, so I've accommodated this and uploaded some winter coats and vintage furs along with vintage kaftans . I have also updated the menu system on the front page and added lots of new sections, so you may find something now that you never knew I had.   I've also been on a buying spree and have received boxes of new stuff to upload to the shop a collection of fur collars, mens Harvie & Hudson dress shirts, stiff collars and marcella waistcoats and another Royal Navy uniform.  Today's pick ups include; a brand new 100% wool tweed jacket, an original leather portmanteau, a handmade pair of Samual Windsor chelsea boots, an alpaca shawl, Edwardian bone necklace, deco dress clip, and a green wool Austrian stiff brimmed original Tyroler Loden deerstalker hat. That'll be keeping me busy in the studio for a while.
