Turning Japanese

This lovely lady bought one of my vintage Japanese Kimonos at the weekend and has just sent me these fabulous photos! She had been looking for an original, full length silk kimono in purple for a long time and luckily enough our paths crossed! Here it is being worn so beautifully and traditionally in all its glory. Thanks krys, absolutely stunning 💜

The Northern Quarter

Another great day of top beats and vintage treats at Northern Quarter Makers Market on Sunday, thanks to everyone who stopped by and made it so much fun 😘 Manchester you are magical ✨

And Just how cute is this vintage western jacket?! complete with 🌵+🐴 !! I was sad to see it go but seeing the gorgeous @karolinasykut doing it proud and captured so beautifully by @bartekbasista makes everything ok 😍

Barrow Girl

There’s nothing I love more than getting back to my barrow girl roots and hitting the road bringing my vintage fashion finds to fellow vintage overs across the country. When you’re so used to being stuck behind your laptop on a daily basis and working in relative solitude It’s always a special treat to meet your customers face to face and mingle with your fashion tribe.

I’m always fascinated when witnessing the process of a big empty space transform into a buzzing, thriving vintage haven. And when the venue is as beaut as the custard factory (birmingham) I just couldn’t resist snapping the behind-the-scenes set up of a pop up vintage fair! …what a gorgeous loft style apartment this would make!

So here are some of my favourite moments from the recent fairs in Birmingham, Chester and Liverpool for Judy’s affordable vintage fair.
