On a Thursday evening back in October I was lucky enough to attend a special bloggers
preview event for Re:So’s SHED Vintage clothing collection. The Soton Bloggers
and I could view and shop the collection ahead of its official release –
October 21st – and witness a fashion show featuring items of the new
vintage range.
Re:So is a student run store housing student creations such
as jewellery lines, which the new vintage clothing line joins. The collection
is made of pre-loved items or classic 90’s style pieces such as sportswear,
mesh, wax jackets, and oversized sweatshirts for both male and females.
During the event, and after the fashion show, we were introduced to the fashion designers
– Jasmine and Charlotte – whom mingled with the crowds (alongside the models
from the show) so you could chat about the new range with.
All the items are affordable (especially compared to the
likes of high street stores’ vintage collections) and I picked up a Vintage
grey Adidas t-shirt which I am excited to pair with a pair of mom jeans. I
snapped a picture of it, alongside my friend Rebecca’s purchase – this oversized
yellow jumper – in the super cute creatively decorated fitting room.
How cute is this fitting room? |
The store’s layout deserves noticeable mention as
consideration has been made in terms of décor and creativity. Garments are
displayed on innovative clothing displays such as ladders and wall hangings with
touches such as fairy lights and ribbon.
If you’re interested in taking a look at the vintage range
or any other collections, The Retail Solent Initiative, or Re:So, is located
just above Starbucks in the Marlands Shopping Centre, Southampton. You can also find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Huge thank you to Re: So and The Soton Bloggers for hosting
the event, I had such a fun time mingling with fellow bloggers and looking at
the new collection.
As always you can follow me on bloglovin here to keep up to date with all my posts and there's also a google follow button in my blog side bar! I made a facebook page which you can find here if you want to give it a like, that would be fab!
