Vintage In Volume As You Have Never Seen Before
As one of Europe’s largest online retailers of original vintage furniture, lighting, and accessories we took Soho, London by storm this May with the launch of the Vintage Supermarket. For four unforgettable days, we transformed a 6000 sq ft space into a treasure trove of vintage wonders, curated in a unique supermarket-style environment.
We emptied our warehouses, bringing the contents to London to share the incredible treasures we’ve collected over the last four years from across Europe. Thousands of unique, handpicked vintage items were displayed, offering an unparalleled shopping experience for vintage enthusiasts.
In partnership with LCW Reclaim and Vinterior, we brought a diverse and stunning selection of vintage items to London, creating an unforgettable event that celebrated the beauty and history of vintage decor.
I thought the event was wonderful. Very clever to integrate the art with the products. Lots of love for the show via Instagram too!
