Well I've  mentioned a few of these items in the last post, but I photographed the morning suit this morning and haven't listed it yet, so thought I'd give you a sneaky peek of what's to come in the shop soon. It's a Moss Bros size 40R, with a grey backless waistcoat and grey wedding striped trousers complete with button braces. The spats, dove grey suede gloves and top hat are already listed, and I'll also be listing soon the marcella thistlebud white bow tie and marcella fronted, wing tip collar shirt too. Enjoy!

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...

Blimey time flies, sorry I haven't posted in a few months I got somewhat waylayed and distracted. But to celebrate the generosity of the sun being in Leo I am offering a 20% off Summer Sale at Vintage Vampalicious - so browse on over and pick up a bargain or three.

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.  

I've been off on a slight detour from the vintage fashion side of things as I got a box of vintage tins and packaging to sell for a friend last week, so I've been uploading them to the shop today.  It's been fascinating for me as in another life I was a graphic designer so I've really been enjoying looking at the packaging and design aspect of days gone buy, I love the Creme de Menthe tin which is still attractive today from when it was made in the 1930s.

I've been busy updating the look and design  of  Vintage Vampalicious by adding lots of new categories, uploading lots of new products which I am still doing almost daily and updated the logo and colour palette too. Drop on by and see what you think and feel free to comment with some feedback, it would be great to hear what you think. I've added a whole load of vintage for chaps categories, including; mantiques , loungewear and militaria , I have a whole box of RAF and Royal Naval uniforms to photograph and upload, so if you are looking for something to wear for Goodwood and you can't see it on the site then get in touch, as I may well have it in stock or if not I could probably source it for you. I also still have a box of vintage fabrics to measure up and upload along with vintage and antique lines and lacework dating back to the 17th century, jewelley and scarves, and that's all before I get on the Victorian gowns and costume. Phew a way to go yet, but slowl...

I seem to have been on a shopping bender for the chaps recently, with coming across nice dinner suits and accessories. I even found a midnight blue dinner suit that is very similar to James Bond's both from Doctor No, which was his first dinner suit in the 60s and more recently in Quantum of Solace with Daniel Craig and coincidentally I found it literally round the corner from where Mr Craig was hanging out last Christmas - ooh it set the mind a wandering I can tell you, especially as it's in his size too. It's not a Tom Ford design though, it is actually tailored for Jacob Reed's Sons in Philadelphia.   I also bought this lovely vintage double breasted 1940s de-mob dinner jacket or tuxedo, it's a Utility garment with a CC41 label and made by Montague Burton of Oxford Street, the label says; 'The Tailor of Taste", love it.   Then to keep yourself nice and smart a sweet vintage leather grooming set which has chromium bottles with bakelite scr...
