Random Vintage on the High Street.

The reason i've been so quiet on the blogging front lately is that lots of exciting things have been happening, and it's all been a little crazy to say the least. Random Vintage has found a new home in the centre of Cardiff, or to be specific 28 -30 Royal Arcade, Cardiff. We are in a fabulous new shop called Joie de Vivre based in Cardiff's beautiful Victorian arcades.





There are 12 different sellers based in the shop each one offering something a little bit different. Downstairs there's a more contemporary feel with sellers including Kathryn's wonderful Barefoot Books.



Belinda's Fripp Accessories sourced from France.



Lovely Lisa and Ceri hand make their fab Me & Thee signs.



Jodie Hook makes beautiful handmade contemporary silver jewellery.



Savonnerie luxury soaps and toiletries



and lots more!

Upstairs there's a vintage boutique with a number of fab sellers including moi with my two jewellery ranges (random vintage & random vintage repeatables), quirky random vintage curios & vintage styles decorations (in the shop by the weekend!).





We also have Mel & Debbie with Serendipity Vintage, i've done a few fairs with Mel & Debbie in the past and they sell really beautiful items and have fantastic displays.



Mel has the most gorgeous vintage fashions & accessories and Debbie sources amazing vintage homewares including enamel pitchers, vintage china & fabrics.



Emily Hooper Designs is also based upstairs. Emma makes the most gorgeous bags using vintage fabrics, each bag is handmade and unique and has fantastic attention to detail.



Emma also makes quirky headbands using vintage ties as well as corsages, and reworked vintage jewellery.
Last but not least we have Maggies Dress.



These ladies have an amazingly vast selection of vintage clothes and accessories dating from the 1940's to the 1980's, they really do have something to suit any occasion!



So as you can see it's a shop full of delights with lots more to come, this is only the beginning! My area is currently only half full, simply because I haven't had enough stock to fill the space but i've been a busy bee and have been making lots of newbies to stock the shop, I can't seem to make things fast enough at the moment. Please pop in and say hello, we've had fantastic feedback and it's so lovely meeting new customers!
