Paper Dress Vintage is a London-based boutique selling women's and men's vintage garments, shoes & accessories from 1900–80’s, hand-sourced from around the UK since 2007.
Sustainable fashion has been at the heart of our business from the start; clothing from the past was made using better quality fabrics and was constructed to last, so why buy throwaway fashion when you could give a new lease of life to one of our hand-sourced vintage treats?
We truly believe that there is a silhouette that will flatter and feel good for every customer, and our knowledgeable staff are on hand to help you find it. If a garment does need a nip or tuck to take it to perfection, our experienced taylor, Jenny Schwarz, is on hand to offer that bespoke fit.
“Fashions fade, style is eternal” (Coco Chanel)
We have a highly skilled alteration department on site to help make that original vintage treasure fit perfectly.
We have changed shape – we are no longer on rations, we no longer wear painfully restricting underwear, we are a healthier, taller and broader nation – so having a skilled tailor to alter garments makes the process of shopping vintage much more pleasant!
Appointments for fittings can be made for stock bought at Paper Dress as well as your own garments, please call us on 0208 510 0520.
