A new shopping innovation inspired by the past has been brought to my attention recently. Although, who says fashion needs to be governed by any aspect of time or the sense of past, present or future?
Teapot Vintage is a company and associated website based in Manchester UK. The founders and owners, Jack and Rebecca have been working on a project of using their own hobby of finding the best styled lines from fashion history, often bargains from an assortment of varied sources to make a unique and top line Vintage shopping experience.
A break from the current fad of “vintage” stores, which aren’t in truth actually vintage at all, Teapot is 100% authentic and stocks nothing but genuine, well made clothes at fair prices. Teapot is fashion that YOU want, because Jack and Rebecca ask for feedback via their website, Twitter and any means available from their customers to determine what people want. Their enjoyment is going in search of that special piece of clothing that they know will be the highlight of somebody’s week when it is presented to them. The recognition and acceptance is attained when they are able to say “You know that top that you wanted? Well here it is…” Not off a production line, just discovered from the high street archives and led back to the foref1ront of a grateful shoppers wardrobe.
Teapot trade primarily on their own website, but also stick to the true roots of the vintage movement by involving themselves in as many vintage fairs as possible.
For me, the most pleasing aspect of Teapot is that you can be assured that for as much as this is a business, you know that the guys behind this are driven primarily by their own hobby, their own interests and passions. What better conviction could you have for buying something than by having the confidence that someone has actually handpicked their stock and considered it and enjoyed doing it.
Teapot, retail is definitely detail, and clothing with a tale…to tell.

Well, its been a long time since my last post but a lot has happened and changed in the past five months. I could go into it but it’s far too long winded and basically I can’t be bothered. Anyways, fact of the matter is I really want to get back into my blogging so here I am. Sorry to another who actually took time out to read this blog. I will try and update posts on a regular basis. I’m also thinking of changing the name of my blog. I thinks it needs a revamp so watch this space. I’m hopefully going to make it into a hub of entertaining information and you might be lucky…I may post a picture of myself on here. We’ll see! x
