Vintage and Retro Style Items

Welcome to our latest special feature celebrating vintage, retro and the items inspired by them.


Right now true vintage and retro items are very much the 'in' thing and I will admit to being a fan, I do love the old fashioned clothing and the table wear and crockery is without a doubt stunning, with its pretty florals, gentle colouring and hard wearing nature but unfortunately it can cost an arm and a leg especially if you are looking for a set.


So what do you do when you want the style but not the rising costs?


Our Local Crafts has put together a list of businesses that make vintage and retro styled items or have come up with a way to recycle and redefine vintage items.


Sit back and enjoy our showcase and see if you can spot something you love at more affordable prices.
