She Seldom Blushes

Fern from She Seldom Blushes gives us the run down on her boutique in the heart of Fremantle:

Having inherited the bargain-hunting, rummager-gatherer nature of her mother, Fern Vallesi has been fossicking through op-shops, garage sales and Sunday markets looking for the elusive bargain since she was in her early teens.

Since around the same time she has been making jewellery with her preloved finds... And in more recent years she began to wholesale these to boutiques in Perth under the label She Seldom Blushes.

Now She Seldom Blushes is a store in the Atwell Arcade in Fremantle stocking Fern’s jewellery, the jewellery of other local designers and other things she loves... including vintage clothing and accessories and gifts with a retro edge.

For more info check SSB out online on Facebook...

Beleza

Let me introduce Claire from Beleza, another one of our fabulous stallholders at this months event. You can quite often find Claire at the We Heart Vintage Market in Mount Lawley.
Her vintage swimsuits were recently featured on the catwalk during fashion week here in Perth!

"I come from a family of collectors. My brother collects gettoblasters and rap paraphernalia, my uncle collects musical instruments, records and he's a professor of northern soul music! My auntie collects and loves vintage fashion and is still wearing her hair in a beehive as she was when she was 20.

And then...there is my Mum and Dad...Well...where do I start? Really I never had a chance to be anything but a collector, who was I kidding?

Beleza is my collection of beautifully made, unique, interesting items.

My Mum and I travel far and wide across the globe in search of these things, so no two things are the same.

They always say " COPIES ARE NEVER AS GOOD "

Cinderella Loves Lurex!

Another stallholder joins us....read on...

Holly has been in love with vintage clothing since she was 14...or maybe earlier, since she always loved her nana's beautiful vintage dresses- especially the one which was from the 70's- it was in an incredible shade of peacock blue with a diamond underbust that was sprinkled with sparkling claw set rhinestones.

Today she still has a fascination with everything sparkley and ethereal. Always wanting to celebrate life, she likes to dress up as a princess in fairytayle vintage clothing everyday.... even if she is just going grocery shopping ! So it's easy to see why her online vintage shop is called "Cinderella Loves Lurex".

There are literally mountains of vintage clothing in her house that need to find a new life, so you can expect to see her parting with some precious lurex pieces, 60s cinderella style lurex shoes and vintage wedding dresses, amongst many other gorgeous finds.

To see some more photos of her vintage collection, please go to her blog RawHemline.blogspot.com, and also visit Holly's other online store, RawHemline.etsy.com, which is filled with ethereal experimental clothing and accessories, often incorporating vintage fabrics.

Acorn Vintage

Acorn Vintage is another stall you have to look out for at our Vintage Vixens October event. Lauren also owns Osier and hand makes the cutest jewels and fun things you'll ever see. To see some of her online vintage pieces check out her blog...

Lauren has always loved looking a little different, but has always been delighted when people wanted her vintage clothes. So now when she finds treasures, she shares them, with the help of her alter-ego Acorn. She loves it the most because now she doen't have to leave the things behind that she can't squeeze into... they can be yours instead!
Acorns Vintage is made up of cute, cool and whimsical - with lots of hand-altered details and style adjustment... and Acorn Vintage also caters to stylish men, with heaps of dress shoes, checked shirts and cardigans for the dapper within.

Benswick Vintage

Just one of the many stallholders at our next Vintage Vixen Fair! The kids from Benswick Vintage told us a bit about themselves...

Benswick Vintage came to be when both of us discovered a mutual love for fashions past and decided to venture through and scour the op-shops of Perth and grand-parents wardrobes for practical garments. Both having a creative streak we started to re-design garments and bring some of the more simple designs to life, we aim to produce clothing that is practical and affordable to keep Vintage lovers (especially students) in Perth looking amazing.

Ragdoll Photography

Our photographer this event is Shirin Carter from Ragdoll Photography...to check out more of Ragdolls work head to their facebook page...

Ragdoll Photography

A patchwork, a swath of colour, a kaleidoscope.
A lens full of colour and motion, faces, smiles and tears.

Ragdoll Photography is a small town, big time grip into the alter ego.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Ragdoll Photography is a venture of Shirin Carter, an ex-journalist, and now a professional photographer.

Through targeting the inner superhero, fairy and rock goddess for pacifist fire, she is pulling the portrait to pieces and discovering new light and dark, colours and life within everyday people.

The next could be you.
