BEST VINTAGE IN LONDON
Portabello Road will forever have our hearts
At Lorelei London, we love nothing more than a spot of vintage dress shopping. There is something so rewarding about finding a garment that you love that already has it's own history. We will forever get a kick out of vintage finds that have stood the test of time and look as good as they did twenty, fifty or a hundred years ago. They had so much right back then and they certainly knew how to make something to last. So where do we head to when the mood takes us... Portobello Road will forever have our hearts, by far the most well trodden path to vintage shopping in London, for both tourists and those in the know. The reason it still proudly holds its crown is that it never disappoints. Bustling stalls, meandering rabbit warren like arcades and small independent shops not to mention the bars, pubs &
eateries and market keep it that way. Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair is held in London every 3 months at 38-51 Bedford Way, this is one of our favourite days out at Lorelei London. You will find a huge selection of perfectly curated, stunning vintage pieces. A myriad of collectors all gather under one roof to showcase the best of the best of vintage fashion available in London. Be sure to check the website and book in advance to not be denied entry. Some of our favourite vintage pieces have been purchased from amazing vintage dealers of the likes of Tara Munro of Ooh La La Vintage. check them out @oohlalavintage on instagram. You could just sit and people watch all day for a catwalk of Timeless beauty and style if you fancied.
