I don't know about you, but I can hardly believe it's March already! A whole year of lock-downs and restrictions has been quite the journey, but it feels like a little hope lies ahead with the promise of Spring and Summer. Let's keep those fingers crossed and manifest some brighter days ahead!
With the promise of better weather and a little more freedom comes the perfect opportunity to update our wardrobes and as ever, we have been busy at My Vintage HQ photographing, measuring and adding new stock to the website. From original 1960s vintage shoes to cool 1990s vintage trousers, I have some amazing pieces to show you this month. There have also been some fabulous new arrivals in our vintage homeware department. I'm super excited to show you, so let's dive right in!
VINTAGE ACCESSORIES
Wow, wow, wow! Stunning original 1960s vintage shoes. Sandal style with low block heel and hot pink straps complete with bejeweled and beaded front detail and side buckle. Glossy gold inner sole. Marked 8.5 on outer sole this translates to the American size so approx a UK size 5.5/6. These are beautiful shoes in very good vintage condition. Your chance to own some amazing shoes from the 1960s. To find out more, just tap the link under the pic.

Cute and funky original vintage bag made from a thick and durable crochet fabric. Bright contrasting design that will compliment so many of your vintage outfits. Measures approx 12" x 12".

I am more than just a little bit obsessed with this stunning beaded purse from the 1910s/1920s. Curved style with Art Deco design and intricate seed pearls and beading.

The polyester fabric is a little stretchy and slightly sheer, would benefit from something underneath. In very good vintage condition.
