Clothing vintage fairs have always been a huge attraction to many variations of personalities. Ofcourse, many will go to get themselves an inexpensive item of clothing as little as fifty pence.
After visiting the vintage fair in East London, all items available were only one pound each! Yes, just one pound. After queuing for around twenty minutes in the blistering cold, we entered in full force, to find rails and rails of clothing. I was surprised to even pick myself up a pair of Gap denim dungarees.
Hosted by the “East End Vintage Clothing store” the event is always located on Robeson Street, in the heart of East London. There were items ranging from Levis’ denim jackets to baskets full of leather satchels. One lucky shopper came away with a smug expression after picking up a genuine Versace dress. Commenting on their purchase, they emphasise “It was the right time and the right place”.
The highlight to my day was one individual who decided to try on every item of clothing they liked the look of. Not within the changing room but on the side of the rails. Attracting a lot of viewer’s eyes, they did not seem to care what they looked like, when at one point they were stood in just a pair of black tights when temperatures were not much above 5 degrees!
Reviewing my visit to the fair, I would definitely be making another trip. This was a cheap day out within London, with the option of it being free if no items caught your eye. Whether you are looking to buy or browse I would highly recommend the sale, with a chance to catch up with friends and grab yourself a bargain.
