Last weekend (15th April) I was finally able to visit and enjoy a day at Anita’s Vintage Fashion Fair in Battersea. I must admit it was an utterly enjoyable experience and I’ll be surely making an appearance at the next event, which will be held in Notting Hill.
Whether you are seeking a particularly exclusive vintage piece for a certain event or you would like to add to your on-growing vintage collection; I can guarantee you will find something, which you will treasure. From old buttons to luxurious fur coats, from house-hold
trinkets to beautiful wedding dresses, there is something for everyone.
Though each stall was small and was set out in a market type way, everything was tasteful and I ended up staying for a good few hours to be sure not to miss anything! Prices vary, from day dresses for £20 to much more dear pricing depending on the item, condition and stall owner. For example, the fur coats were from £1000 onwards, which is fairly reasonable depending on the quality and sheer magnificence.
There were jive dancers which set a great atmosphere and with the music it really did have an olden day ambience to it. I highly recommend vintage lovers and even those who are just shopping for something unique and beautiful to go to the next fair.
I could not help resist purchasing a beautiful Jaeger silk scarf for only £10!
