My approach for choosing clothes to sell for Elephant Vintage is simple: I only ever select items that I would be happy to wear myself. This means not only looking at branding, aesthetic and style, but also on the quality of all the garments I stock. I look for items that have been made with care and skill – whether by a designer house, a boutique, or a home sewer. I like clothes that move in just the right way, that look wonderful not just on a peg or in a photograph but when worn and lived in. I also tend to favour natural materials over synthetics, although not all synthetic fabrics are created equal!
There’s no single unifying aesthetic or time period that links the clothes and accessories in this shop, but I believe that all of them are unique enough that they come with plenty of stories to tell, and will go on to be featured in many more stories to come.
