With lovely displays, excellent quality clothing, accessories, jewellery and more, which is all organised and easy to look around – and even better, is extremely fairly priced… there is a lot of positive things to say about this shop. So where do we start? Mela Mela Vintage is a beautiful shop that, even on a sunny, warm day, entices one in to look around and shop as the clothes and other items on display are all put out in an orderly fashion within a light, airy and positive space that allows you to see exactly what you are looking at and for (ie things are not jam-packed to the point where you can’t look at something properly). Plus, after a good browse, the prices are also very reasonable, so if you want a lovely piece of clothing, jewellery, pocketbook or more, you are likely to find it.
According to the manager, fashions range from the 1920s through the 1980s – and they have ladies bathing suits, hats, jewellery, wedding dresses and other lovely vintage pieces. The shop is very tasteful and some of the names that come to mind when looking at the clothing include Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. You can also find vintage pieces by the likes of Christian Dior at under £200. Cotton summer print dresses, also for example, range in price from £65-150, diamante jewellery can come in around the £20 and shoes and pocketbooks also aren’t too too expensive.
There is a lot to see and shop for here, which is great if you are looking for something vintage to wear casually, on a night out, to a special occasion or more. Plus, the staff are relaxed, knowledgeable and positive although they also give you your space to shop.
Much worth a visit if you want to shop vintage!
