it seems inevitable that vintage clothing shops would evolve from the slightly shabby type of old to chic boutiques such as this one.
while i think it looks like a charming environment, i realise that shops like this (which push the idea of scarcity and authenticity) are in part responsible for the big increase in vintage clothing prices in the last 4 years.
again, the increase in price seems inevitable, as items become more and more scarce, but i do miss the days when i could buy a cool 30s cardigan for under $100 on american ebay (and glad i bought all the knitwear i did around 1999 to 2006).
good times for sellers. not so good for the average-waged vintage buyer.
