The Affordable Vintage Fair: Just In Time for Christmas!
On Sunday 6th December 2009, Stylus at Leeds University Student Union presents The Affordable Vintage Fair, running all day from 11.00am to 5.00pm for you to pick out a bargain in time for the Festive Season.
Find Something Unique for Christmas at The Affordable Vintage Fair
Heralded as a ‘shopping phenomenon’ by the national press, The Affordable Vintage Fair holds the crown as the largest and longest running vintage shopping event in the UK. On Sunday December 6th the event is set to make a glorious return to Leeds at Stylus in Leeds University Students’ Union.
With over 40 specialists of the best vintage retailers and traders from around the UK selling an eclectic mix of vintage clothing and accessories, this event will be the perfect shopping destination for those looking to find unusual Christmas presents or party wear that you would not find on the High Street.
Huge Discounts Under One Roof
The Affordable Vintage Fair provides a creative alternative in the countdown to Christmas, offering a great diversity of items all under one roof. All stalls are price checked to reflect huge discounts, on average 40% lower than vintage available on the High Street, so it’s a fantastic place to find inexpensive gifts without sacrificing on quality. Local vintage shops Up Staged and Purple Haze will be joining the fair offering customers the chance to purchase their new season stock with discounts and special offers.
Aside from vintage clothing from the 1920s – 1980s, shoppers can also find re-worked and handmade clothes and jewellery, crafts, homewares, sale rails from vintage dealers, wholesalers, local shops and up and coming designers.
The Affordable Vintage Fair already holds regular events all across 15 UK cities including London, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. Its soaring popularity with eagle-eyed vintage enthusiasts has seen the number of visitors rise up to over 1000 at many venues, and it has became a firm favourite with the media featuring in major titles such as Vogue, Grazia, and Marie Claire.
Former Selfridges’ stylist and vintage fashion expert Judy Berger is the founder of the event, and says: “Over the last two years we’ve seen a huge increase in people coming to our events. The credit crunch has made people more selective and scrupulous about what they buy. But whilst high street shops offer competitive prices they don’t always offer that uniqueness and stand out item that make people feel special and unique.”
Visitors to the fair can not only expect to find a large selection of quality vintage items at extremely affordable prices but also can revel in the other elements on offer.
The Affordable Vintage Fair is an unmissable experience, not only for vintage enthusiasts but for those looking for a genuinely distinctive gift for Christmas.
