Mint Vintage at ASOS launched on Friday!



James has for the last couple of months worked with ASOS.com on putting handpicked specialist pieces together for their site. He has focused on collectables as well as on trend pieces, all in perfect mint condition, with characteristic details.
The online retail game is something completely new for us and it's been a very exciting and interesting process.
ASOS is the leading online fashion retailer in the UK. Their mix of high street, high end, and independent labels is wider and better than any shoppingarea in London, so no wonder vintage had to have a place there too.

These are a few of the pieces, but have a look and tell us what you think...

Window of the week.

Back from France.

Returned to London after an unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the holidays in France. Managed to clear it all up and under the circumstances we had a happy hunt.

My favorite pieces, new in the shop are the woman's blouses. We found some stunning 50's to 80's lace pieces (very new romantics) and very cool 80's geometric pieces. Also for women we got interesting wool, mohair and lurex cardigans, duffel coats, dresses and ankle boots.

For men we found candy striped shirts, denim shirts all with different detailing, duffelcoats, fitted 60's blazers, Norwegian, ethnic and Breton knitted jumpers, shoes and the forever staple checked and floral button down shirt.

Please come and see us and tell us what you think!
