VINTAGE HIP TIPS


- Scrummage through the Vinnie and Salvo stores in the suburbs of your city where women wear designer labels. For example Toorak in Melbourne and Mosman in Sydney. I have personally found 80s Armani in perfect condition amongst the treasures .

-Only buy what is in perfect condition. The trick is, if it looks second hand leave it for someone who needs cheap clothing. If it's in excellent condition it's a win-win situation.

- Don't be afraid to take it to be professionally altered.

- To bring the fabric back to life and get rid of any musty smell I've discovered Grandma's old trick- hand washing with Lux, Lux comes in a bit cardboard box in most supermarkets and is old fashion bio-degrable soap flakes. (It's excellent at maintaining silks too.
