‘Tis the season of no reason to shop I know
Monday, March 1, 2010
… but how then do you explain why shops exist round the year?
We obsess over the vintage we sell and try to keep a running ‘documentary’ of all pieces but sometime we miss and they go off with someone – no photographs and soon they’re forgotten… Today I sold a beautiful burgundy cheongsam lace dress [...]
Looks better when worn
Saturday, February 27, 2010
On the right person, it could be orgasmic.
YES, we have new vintage pieces, definitely more than what’s on the online catalogue, with new additions of spring flowery motifs the fashion world is showing now.
I’ll post up more when my grubby hands are willing.
A Love Letter To Posterity
Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Dear You,
The last good thing to have happened to me in 2009 was becoming the owner of rare milliner’s parts. As old and (some) fragile as they are, color appears almost as rich as the day they were dyed. I had originally wanted to add them in to my personal collection, but the more I [...]

Beautiful fabrics of the old
Friday, January 15, 2010
Prints and textures of the vintage dresses in Stevie. They conjure images of feelings lost, that we keep finding through collecting, collecting…
I often stick my eyeballs upclose, to study and to smell, the illustrations of vintage fabrics… and they always, always surprise me. Maybe they are stories of my own, but they are ones I [...]

Our Vintage corner is bursting with pendant necklaces from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Recycling Precious Things
Monday, December 14, 2009
These hair trinkets are made from floral parts left over from between the 40s and the 50s. Not long ago, the principal of a hat-making school in Philadelphia passed on and they discovered a stunning collection of beautiful floral pieces kept away in the school’s cupboards and drawers, made in Germany from a time long, [...]

Hwee Yee is the Pygmy Sperm Whale; I am the North Atlantic Right Whale; we run Blumen when wearing rubber human skins.
