I adore vintage, everyone adores vintage…but what’s vintage? A more socially acceptable term for second-hand? In my mind that’s all it is. What sounds better, “It’s a second-hand dress from Oxfam” or “It’s a little vintage piece I picked from a small local boutique?” The answer is obvious! Plus, true “vintage” often equates to expensive. All my friends seem to manage to find beautiful rare pieces cheaply, that seem to evade me! French company Heimstone offer a perfect solution – new but vintage-looking styles. There are floaty jackets and gilets, with buttons and antique gold details, alongside modern jersey and fashion forward dresses. Their collection has enchanted me…so the time I am searching for an elusive second-hand wonder and it continues to hide, I may resort to Heimstone.
