Autumn Fair Preview Sunday 20th October 11am-5pm £5 (£2 with NUS card)
There’s finally a chill in the air so join us and our fine roster of traders for your autumn wardrobe edit at Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair this Sunday! We’re full to the rafters with some of the very best traders who will be unwrapping their finest collections of knitwear, coats, capes, frocks and accessories from all your favourite eras so you can wrap up in style this autumn.
Over 50 traders will fill the stunning Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden with original, authentic vintage and pre-loved designer pieces many of which nail autumn/winter 19’s top trends but for those of you that have frequented our fairs over the years you will already know that our ethos is anything goes. Vintage doesn’t follow fashion but inspires today’s fashion so wear whatever makes you feel good, whatever the style or the era. Individuality is the biggest definer of British style and the beauty of vintage is that you can create your own look with pieces that no else will be wearing and without costing the earth.
Many of you will be returning to some of your favourite traders this Sunday such as Lady Jane’s Vintage Bandwagon, London Vintage, The Antique and Vintage Wardrobe, Cloud Cuckoo Land, ChichiRaRa Vintage, Pigsty 71, Maycottage Prints and Crystal Vintage who will have put pieces aside for you knowing your style preferences but do check out some of our returning traders and NEW traders too! First up on our roster is Beth Swarbrick; ex stylist, collector and founder of The Park Vintage based in Brighton. Beth has a penchant for the 70s & 80s but she’ll be mixing it up with styles from 1940s this Sunday too. If your lost for inspiration this will be a great place to start with a well curated stand offering womenswear and accessories for the style savvy!
