Vintage shopping is the best way to enhance your wardrobe with unique pieces, while also caring for the environment.
We all love having that unique piece that when everyone asks us where we bought it, we drop a simple and ambiguous; "it's vintage". That Prada bag from the 90s that you love, or that jacket that matches any outfit... We’ll help you find them! We have chosen the best vintage stores in the city, to start your new search for lost gems.

Sign of the Times
Chelsea
The legendary fashion insider's favourite! This wonderful store in west London is an undoubted classic vintage store. It first opened in the 1970s, long before the current resale revolution began.
Unsurprisingly, Sign Of The Times’s best-selling brands include the likes of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès. The store also stocks more modern pre-loved pieces, which means that if you have to get hold of a purely classic piece like a 2.55 by Chanel, you should go to Sloane Square. In addition, you can enjoy a pleasant experience in the shops and cafes around it.
William Vintage
Marylebone
Have you ever wondered where Amal Clooney's Grecian-style gown came from? Or where Meghan Markle's excellent statement coat comes from?
In London's Marylebone, William Vintage is a refined boutique next to the Chiltern Firehouse that counts some of the world's most respected women (including Victoria Beckham) among its clients.

Golbourne road
London's well-known vintage shop on Notting Hill. It’s frequently visited by Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, and Peter Dundas. You can shop here for classic Burberry trench coats, Alaïa leather jackets, as well as original pieces from Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Ossie Clarke, with prices ranging from £65 to £695.
