I'm a typical Hong Kong gal, typical in a sense that I only want stuff that are in shape and with reasonable price, so vintage doesn't exactly sound like the thing for me...
My first vintage item (a pair of baggy LEE jeans) was purchased when I was about 14 proved my definition completely right because it stinks like hell, the only reason I got it was because I couldn't afford a new pair and the one I got is only 100HKD ( less than £9!)
Until now I'm still not much of a vintage fan coz I've heard too many stories about the old leather jacket with a mysterious picture in the side pocket or the diamond ring taken from the dead old lady's finger etc...
But somehow somewhere... I found myself buying vintage again... I started to appreciate more of the tailoring and the style in vintage stuff when I forgot all about the scary stories... sometimes you just can't find the same piece of jewelry or the same dress anymore because that ring's designer no longer makes jewelry or that dress has a history that cannot be replaced...
Besides, fashion without the vintage part is like the present era without history... so here I am with my new vintage cardigan from Nottinghill and me playing around with my birthday balloons! x
