I have been a vintage fan for many a year. More recently I committed to buying only vintage and pre-loved fashion. It is my bid on becoming more ecofriendly.
The plan is to buying only beautiful and well made vintage and pre-loved fashion. Cue Modes and More a boutique that sells designer, couture and rare vintage. I have to share this find with you. It is a boutique (with a studio in London and an online site. They also have a store on 1st Dibs). Owned by Susie Nelson, the garments which are handpicked and sourced from around the world date from the 1920s to the 90’s. With rare pieces by fashion houses such as Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior and Chanel, Modes and More have been featured by the likes of The Sunday Telegraph. Celebrities such as Laura Whitmore and Mollie King have worn pieces from the boutique.
Why am I excited about this boutique? The rarity of the pieces, the price points and the quality and the range of designer brand & couture house available makes this vintage boutique very special.
In the photo above I am wearing a piece from their inventory courtesy of the boutique. It is a Susan Small of London evening dress. The beauty and quality of it delights. There are many vintage boutiques but not many have an inventory with rare pieces like this. I plan to build a wardrobe of superb vintage from eras that bring me joy for the uniqueness and because they do not make clothes like they used to. Why spend your money on present day designer and couture when you can source vintage designer and couture that not everyone will be wearing?
If you love designer, couture and rare vintage or are seeking something special visit Modes and More on their site here or on 1st Dibs here.
