to the home of Vintage Vogue! We are the original (often copied) and best vintage event in East Anglia, with around a thousand visitors attending each event, many of whom are regulars.
Market forces are changing and we intend to make sure that VV is up to the minute and that we can continue to give the public what it wants. VV will again be offering a day of delights for those who cannot get enough of vintage as well as those of you who might be vintage curious. However, it.is not only fashion that the public are looking for. With Vintage moving into the commercial mainstream, vintage lifestyle and furniture are now becoming sought after. Peeople not only want to look and dress individually, they are starting to live the lifestyles of yesteryear and want to furnish their homes accordingly. From art deco as seen in the likes of Poirot and Geeves & Wooster) to mid century modern (as can be found in the hit US tv series Madmen) Vintage Vogue will be the place to find classic designed furniture and soft furnishings that are original, unique and affordable.
On another note, one change that we have considered very carefully is the practice of trying to pass off modern items as 1980s vintage. We feel that this not only devalues events like ours but makes a mockery of what is actually considered vintage. Therefore, we will be falling in line with other vintage fairs and not accept any vintage merchandise beyond the 1970s.
We will be launching a new website in the near future that will capture the spirit our bigger brighter better events, so watch this space!
Our first event of 2012 is on Sunday April 29, and everyone is invited to join us from 10am in the morning until 4pm in the afternoon. Entrance prices for the coming year remain at £4.50 with concessions and students with id only £3.50. You can enjoy sumptuous Cream Teas, Cakes and Sandwiches in our expanded famous Vogue Tea Room, served as ever by Mr Lyons Nippys, in between all that shopping. No other fair (London or otherwise) offers such a delectable retreat, and we have sampled everyone else's to prove it!
Vintage clothing and associated items continue enormous popularity for those seeking something different and more individual than what is being offered on the High Street.
