I’m delighted to announce the launch of my new business venture, Vintage Bizarre. I’ve been working solid on developing the website this week so hope you enjoy looking around.
As you will see from our About Us page, Vintage Bizarre is a joint venture between myself (Catwalk Creative Vintage) and my dear friend, Beth (Faux Brit). Together we’re getting out-and-about with our vintage wares and selling at vintage fairs and local venues across the North West of England.
We also plan to do some vintage clothes parties under the title ‘Vintage Bizarre’s Mobile Closet‘ which should be lots of fun! The party host receives a discount and special treats!
The new website isn’t really about ’selling’ vintage at all, although we’ve placed several links back to our websites for anyone who isn’t able to visit us in person! No, Vintage Bizarre is more more about showcasing our range of merchandise and highlighting our selling venues. It also provides us with the perfect opportunity to promote vintage. One way we can do that, is through our favourite page, Fashion Trends 2010. This is a fun way to show how vintage adapts so well to the latest catwalk trends. In addition, it’s refreshing to see how cost effective purchasing vintage is compared to buying on the high street or forking out a months salary for a designer piece. Why buy something you know lots of others have purchased before you? Show your individual style and shop vintage!
Wearing vintage has become more mainstream over the last few years but there are lots of people who have never considered buying ‘vintage’ as an option. Hopefully we aim to change that and hope you’ll visit our site regularly and keep up-to-date with what’s going on. Please join us on Twitter.
We have lots of exciting things in the planning. Our first event is the Didsbury Vintage & Craft Fair on the 20th February and then the following week we have the Vintage Village Fair in Stockport. Both venues are really smart and in great locations so we’re hoping to meet lots of enthusiastic customers! The Vintage Village Fair will be held on the second and last Sundays of the month so it’s a great opportunity. It’s nice to have a regular selling venue at last!
Last, but definitely not least, we’ll be at Joe Petrillo in West Didsbury, Manchester. We’ll be there on the first weekend of every month, starting from the 6th March. I’m looking forward to this event the most. Not only is it a ’stones throw’ away from my home but it’s in such a great location with lots of passing trade. West Didsbury is home to lots of independent shops, bars and bistros so when you’ve finished your vintage shopping, you can saunter along to any one of the eateries for refreshments and watch the world go by.
My sister is coming along to provide customers with vintage makeovers. I can’t wait!!! All money raised by Alison is being donated to the MacMillan Cancer Support charity. Alison has many strings to her bow. Not only is she my twin (lucky girl!!), but she’s a top makeup artist, beauty therapist and one of the few qualified permanent makeup technicians in the North West. She also rides a huge motorcycle. I forget which model exactly but it’s BIG!!!! She and her husband take part in lots of charity motorcycle rides and they do such a stellar job at raising money. Please send a donation to Alison here: http://www.justgiving.com/bwr-north-west. Every penny counts so thank you so much!
