3 AWESOME VINTAGE STORES
LONDON: One of a Kind
259 Portobello Road, W11, London
http://www.1kind.co.uk
"Secret" rooms, goodies everywhere, unique items, and of course in Portobello Road. Very helpful staff knowing their stuff without being snotty. A bit overpriced, but ah well. It's eye candy everywhere.
GOTHENBURG: Prickig Katt
Magasinsgatan 19, Gothenburg
http://www.prickigkatt.se/shop/
Vintage and redesigned items, and also a sort of art gallery. Like Etsy gone bad, but in a cool way... A LOT to see everywhere, and also a good web shop. Might be the most original vintage shop I've visited.
FLORENCE: Desii Vintage
Via de' Conti 18/21, Florence
http://florence-forher.com/articles/desii-vintage
High-end brands everywhere, and everything well kept. Also some fine 1920 dresses. Their philosophy is to give young people an opportunity to own the real deal, which means their stuff is not overpriced. They get new stuff daily. Might be the best vintage shop I've visited. For both men and women, in neighbor shops, near the San Lorenzo church.
