Donna Flower

Vintage dressmaking fabrics from Donna Flower, sold by the half-metre. They'd be ideal for flowergirls' dresses. Pictures: Donna Flower.

Tim Bowen

Tim Bowen's collection of antique Welsh spongeware is the kind of thing I really swoon over. I'll never have too many bowls. I'd love to visit Tim and his wife Betsan's gallery near Carmarthen - full of these lovely ceramics and what looks like a really amazing collection of oak country furniture, Welsh paintings and folk art. Pictures: Tim Bowen Antiques.

Belle Heir

Belle Heir sells the most exquisite vintage clothes for babies (and up to five-year-olds) - proper antiques, really, rather that mere second-hand clothes. The spotty dress here is Belgian from the 1930s; the middle, crocheted dress is from the 1920s, and the gingham coat is 1960s. Unique treasures, with price tags to match. Pictures: Belle Heir.

Dee Puddy

Dee Puddy has really nice style, and her online shop is full of things I like, such as these blue-tinted Mason jars and linen cushions.

Still

Sophie Mason's label, Still, has impeccable ethical credentials. Her (lovely) duffle coats, shirts and dresses are all hand-made using traditional skills in small, family-run workshops in India. She also sells are range of rather more glamorous vintage dresses from her shop in Notting Hill.

Twice

Caroline Hoyer Millar's online shop, Twice, sells the sort of thing I really love. From horn porridge spoons made in Lancashire, to lovely Scottish stoneware and vintage patchwork cushions, everything she stocks is traditional in design or production methods, made in small quantities, and designed to last.

Second-hand

That Indie Look is full of sanely priced second-hand things. I like this Cowboy shirt and battered old Mexican boots - which just happen to be in my size.

Vintage Seekers

Vintage Seekers sells beautiful antique clothes - like this enchanting silk 1920s dress - and other collectibles that interest me less (like vintage wines and Porsches) to people for whom money is no object.

Velvet Ribbon

If sleeping in a bed made up with linen sheets, an eiderdown and a crocheted blanket is your thing, and you're partial to toasting a crumpet on a roaring fire in a Welsh farmhouse - then you'll love the wares at Velvet Ribbon as much as I do.

Urban Outfitters Vintage

Urban Outfitters have just launched One of a Kind - a small collection of vintage things only available online. Personally, I'd have to be absolutely blown away by a second-hand dress to spend upwards of £70 on it (when I can get something similar down my local charity shop), but I do think they've styled them nicely.

Freudian Slips Vintage



One of my favourite vintage stores, Freudian Slips is closing down this month, and selling off at knock-down prices these very pretty summer frocks.
