Call me lazy, but I want to enjoy nice vintage clothes without actually hunting for them through piles of old smelly polyester. Is that so wrong? After all, I'm a busy gal and impatient to boot.
Luckily for ladies who feel the same way I do, there's Gypsy Market Vintage. The brainchild of stylist and vintage enthusiast Sarah La Greca, Gypsy Market has arrived in One of a Few (354 Water St.) and is staying throughout spring and well into summer. From what I saw at the launch party last Friday, the Gypsy Market pop-up shop features a carefully curated selection of one-of-a-kind vintage pieces in fantastic condition that would integrate well with contemporary wardrobes. I spotted bright neons, pretty florals, sheer black fabrics, dainty whites, and leopard prints galore. La Greca (who admits the 80s and 90s are her favourite decades to pick from because the pieces look more modern and less costumey) is constantly replenishing the shop with new stock, so make sure you stop by before this stylish gypsy caravan packs up and rolls out of Gastown.
Oh man. I remember the pre-eBay hunt through old polyester. Stinky!
ReplyDeleteOooh I can't wait to check this one out! I personally enjoy the thrill of the hunt but there is nothing better than a well-edited selection to shop from. Any photos that you managed to snap from the launch?
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday Lisa!

ReplyDeleteJen, I've been really bad about taking photos lately and the pop-up shop is in a small space--hard to take photos when there are quite a few people about browsing! But you should check it out because you're sure to find something. :)
