Vintage Baker Finds - Vintage Zizou

Every so often I find a vintage supplier who's just too good not to share. So while they might not strictly be 'Bristol' based, they certainly get the Bristol Vintage & Vintage Baker Finds seal of approval.

First up is Vintage Zizou.

Vintage Zizou is a speciality vintage and contemporary clothes shop and a dress agency.

Owner Anca Cesar sources her stock from across the UK, Europe and the US to bring you quality pieces.

They have a large section of branded and unbranded dresses, coats, hats, shoes, handbags and jewellery…

…and if you're not sure what you're looking for, need some style advice, fashion tips or want to know how to care for your new purchases, the friendly staff are on hand to help.

When it comes to bridal, they stock wedding dresses, cocktail dresses and party dresses, outfits for flower girls and the Mother of the Bride, as well as some gorgeous accessories.

So pop across the bridge to their shop at 16 Castle Arcade, Cardiff CF10 1BU or take your time looking through the online stock available on their website. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for top quality vintage.

See you soon for more Vintage Baker Finds!

Britten Bags

Brides and Bridesmaids… for handbags and vintage-inspired accessories, look no further than the Britten boutique, home to all kinds of bags, bouquets and feather fans.  With a cornucopia of 1920s influenced bridal and wedding products, you’ll find everything from hair accessories and button-holes to cake decorations and garters.

Based in England, just outside Bath owner Sarah designs and make each and every one of the products in her studio.  

Believing you should only own things you want to cherish forever and hating the idea of mass-produced items, one thing she’s absolutely passionate about is working with people to create an accessory totally unique to them. A graduate of Cordwainers College at the London College of Fashion, Britten has been a dream of hers since 2002 and was officially launched in 2010.  In 2011 Sarah launched her wedding range and this year she’s been working on a new range of vintage-inspired bridal bags, which she’ll introduce at our fair!

Prices range from £15 for a pearl garter to £88 for a feather fan.  You can shop at her fabulous online boutique with its host of beautiful images or contact Sarah directly about a custom piece.  Don’t forget to stop off to read the lovely Britten blog to find out more about the items for sale and all things vintage and then come along and meet Sarah in February.  It’s her first ever vintage fair and we’re delighted she’ll be joining us.
