My name is Rita @ritas_treasures - I started collecting antiques almost 15 years ago. My father was an antique dealer and he taught me everything I know.

I have developed a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and history behind each piece of antique and vintage jewellery . Beyond the allure of precious gems and intricate designs. I am also committed to a lifestyle of wellness, embracing the benefits of regular gym fitness, healthy eating, and yoga. I have been Practicing yoga for many years and attend regular yoga classes which I love !

Abdul @vintagebyabdul - Vintage by Abdul was born out of my love of flea markets while living in Paris. As a student, I started to resell on online platforms to make a bit of money and with each piece, I researched and found out more about Yves and his work. Bit by bit, I started to collect clothes from the 1970s, the era of Diana Ross and androgynous fashion, an era a part of me truly identifies with. Saint Laurent also flourished in that decade. From stumbling upon my first iconic piece, a black velvet cape edged with gold trim in a vintage store to going through auction catalogues, the love for Saint Laurent is never ending. In tandem, vintage perfume has been a passion since a decade which I always try to incorporate into my curations. Vintage By Abdul incorporates both vintage perfume and fashion as they have complemented each other throughout history.

Adas Attic Vintage @adasatticvintage As with many vintage enthusiasts, my passion for all things old started as a child scouring second hand shops in the 70s then Camden and Kensington Market. I'm kicking myself for not keeping all those clothes! Fast forward 30 years and after a long career in teaching and conservation, I run Adas Attic that I feel is an inclusive option and for all ages. Whether you are kitted out in vintage from head to toe or zhuzhing up a contemporary outfit with a special vintage piece - anything goes and everyone is welcome. From a dreamy Ossie Clark to the nostalgic high street brands of the 70s & 80s - every pieces has its own little story to tell.

Jo Ponton @frocksmithvintage - Jo worked in the fashion industry from the late 80s until early Y2k as a fashion buyer. During this time she worked globally for and with some of the most creative fashion designers and influential game changers in the fashion industry. Yohji Yamamoto, Romeo Gigli and Agnes B. Buying collections from the runways of Paris, Milan and ateliers in Tokyo. Throughout these years Jo would always mix vintage pieces into her rather eclectic designer wardrobe and was constantly asked where each vintage piece was from or who it was by. Her reply was always 'it's second hand' or 'antique' The term 'Vintage' was not a common description then... her ethos is simple. Buy beautiful pieces to slot into a contemporary wardrobe. To be worn again, partied in and treasured once more! ‘
