This is a 'must go' event, a sale that London vintage lovers can't absolutely miss out. Angels Retro, famous for dressing the entertainment industry since 1840 and for its collection of costumes and accessories, by far the largest in the world, will host a massive retro SALE in its Wembley warehouse next Saturday, 6th February.
Over 25,000 items of clothing and accessories featuring fashion items from the 1950s all the way through to the 1990s, including suits, skirts and blazers from the 1980s; 1970s coats, trousers and dresses; 1960s coats and skirts; and vintage handbags.
Items will not be individually priced but customers will be free to fill special plastic bags with whatever they desire. Medium-size bag will cost £ 20 and a supersize bag £ 50, but of course, you can fill as many as bags you wish to!
Doors open at 8:30 and entrance ticket is £ 5

Susan Caplan Vintage on Asos.com
A selection of Susan Caplan Vintage Collection is on sale starting today on asos.com. Some 20 pieces which, I'm sure, will be sold out soon. Prices start from £ 88 for a pair of Diamante Curved Earrings to £ 1200 for a Chanel Gold Necklace. The selection also includes pieces from collectable costume jewellery designers like Christian Dior and Butler & Wilson.
I like the idea of Asos.com, the largest online fashion retail, selling vintage items as a way to let people know about vintage and high quality fashion and accessories. The partnership with collector Susan Caplan, already tested in April 2009, is the best guarantee to learn about timeless high quality jewellery.
