12 years, five continents and many happy hours have gone into the curation of Fleur Wood’s extensive vintage collection.
Due to pure necessity (it was getting a little out of control), Fleur has decided to sell off selected pieces, a process that she likens to auctioning off her own flesh and blood.
She explains, “It was a hilarious process trying to decide what to sell. I am very attached to all of the pieces; I have worn some and others have inspired collections. When the girls held up just about anything, I would say, ‘We can never sell that!’”
Due to the characteristic variations in vintage sizing, Fleur says that it’s best to pop into the Paddington store to try on the vintage dress of your dreams.
Including vintage lace, beading and embroidery, the collection includes everything from formal gowns to Edwardian blouses from 1910.
Fleur says, “It’s pretty without being saccharine; very feminine and embellished.”
How positively charming.
