Vintage Street Giveaway

Saturday the 4th Sep was an exciting day not only for the South Peninsula ladies, but for vintage lovers everywhere. (Ladies and gentleman) introducing Ms Daisy Jones and Vintage Street in Kalk Bay. Grab yourself something yummy on your way past the Olympia Bakery shop, go up Lock road and stop where Clairvoux crosses Lock. Then step on board - for it is quite a trip. Daisy has an excellent eye and has carefully curated vintage finds into potential dreamy scenarios. Think "Sunday in Paris" or "Groupie on Tour".




Not only is the shop's design inspired - go see the gates for yourself - but there are finds that one hears about, but so rarely gets one's lovely hands on. I saw Paul Smith jeans fly off the rails for R250. And Kenneth Cole red wedge heels disappear for less.


But, its not just the stock. Daisy is brilliant at sizing up your body shape and working out what will really suit you. I saw her do magic. Think Trinny and Susanna, but without the mirror shot in your undies. And no shaming you into "listening or else". You say: "I'm looking for a dress for a matric dance/ 21st/ wedding/ christening/ baby shower/ 40th. I want Grace Kelly for 2010", and Bob's your uncle, or in this case, Daisy's your Trinny, and you're standing there marveling at the effect. And did I mention the shoes?



Just for a taste of  Daisy, for my 40th birthday pressie, Daisy (who in a previous life was a farking funny journalist and illustrator) combined her drawing, humor and know-how into delightful sketches.


It's the combination of quick wit, keen eye, rare label stock and AFFORDABLE that make Vintage Street a delightful experience.
