New (old!) bags!

Got some fabulous little bags just in that date from very early 20th century-sooo lovely! They are all hand beaded and we think the oldest one is venetian iridescent beading from around 1920-1915. The other one is a gorgeous art deco white and grey tiny clutch, I can't resiste them so they may be coming with me to do's in the summer! (must have more will power and sell dtuff instead of keeping it!)
They sort of complement the large red dancing dress by Gina Couture. Its a proper Mad Men-tastic puffball of a dress-so over the top its fabulous!
Until next time-scarlet and out!

The Shining (of the sun!)

Oooo am loving the sunshine in Bath at the moment, the buildings look so lovely, lessons outside i think today kids!
We have some fab stuff coming through the doors as well, a gorgeous 1950's ballgown, (in Scarlet of course!), all netted skirts and beaded bodice, just gorgeous! Also got a fairly nifty BIBA top in, which, although not from the orginal era, still super cool. We're also in a bit of a New York state of mind with our SATC2 themed wall-what would the girls pick if they ventured into Scarlet and had a route through the rails...
We definitely need to fast track the expansion of the shop as we are getting so many goodies coming in now.
The stylish women of Bath certainly have some cool wardrobes and they're not afraid to share them luckily!

Come see for yourself!

Rain, rain go away!

Why is it suddenly winter again? Anyway, listening to Wham! always cheers me up and we are getting our new sound system soon (nothing fancy, just fed up with cd's so switching to the 21st century and using an ipod!) so I can crank it up a bit (only when no one is in, obv!)
Got some super fab new stuff come in now, its sooo tempting not to fill my own wardrobe, but then i wouldn't be able to pay my rent,rates or eat and I quite like food. Got an amazing 80's floral ra-ra dress just in, yes, it is a bit "out there" but if you've got the confidence to rock it, then it would look out of this world!
Also, filling up our designer sunglasses section with Dior, Versace and Prada-yum!
Anyway, must go and sort rest of stock-busy, busy!

Er...hello?

Mmm, all very new to this, so not sure quite how it works-but will get the hang of asap! Scarlet Vintage opened in December 2009 and its soooo much fun! Get to meet lots of interesting people that flock to Bath to see the architecture and the shops and get to play with some FABULOUS clothes! Lots of ladies in and around Bath have fabulous wardrobes and like to have a clear out every now and again..and that's where Scarlet comes in! The basis of the collection was sourced around the world whilst i was still flying for that Big Airline, but the rest of it changes frequently as more and more people come to us to sell their wares! Lots of fun and as it gets hotter it gets busier!
