Sew Vintage Re-Launch!

WE'RE BACK BABY!


After a very unfortunate start to the year, we're SO pleased to tell you that Sew Vintage is back in business.

So, for those of you who don't know, here's the saga.....

We were enjoying a lovely (and much needed) few days off over the Christmas period when Santa brought us a late gift of a burst pipe in the building. Not quite the end to Christmas Day we were expecting, but a good few laughs were had in the face of adversity. The combination of gushing water, icey pavements, the Gourock Fire Brigade, slightly tipsy helpers and a whole shop to de-cant was rather amusing. Freezing our wee vintage tooshies off, the shop was gutted and left in a sodding mess.

BUT, look at us now. Almost 2 months to the day and we're back on our feet. The shop is looking better than ever with a brand spanking new decor and we have gorgeous stock filling our shelves - all handpicked and revamped to the highest standard.

A few changes have taken place, which overall gives the shop a more homely feel - a place to shop, lounge and relax. We have a new seating area with comfy leather couches, where you can take a gander through the latest fashion magazines, or even have a cuppa with us if you wish. There's a specific 'Handmade and Customised' rail, housing the Molly Pippins range, alongside one-off customised vintage pieces. As ever, we whole heartedly support local, independent designers and crafty types, so we have handmade jewellery from the likes of Oui! Designs, Rachael Emily Parker and Carrot Coriander, and beautiful fascinators and headpieces by Simply Stitched.

We're planning to add a new dimension to the business, which will be revealed in the next few weeks. We want Sew Vintage to be Gourock's hub of crafts and handmade innovation - and it all revolves around you.

For now, pop in and see us and take advantage of our week long Re-Launch Sale, with up to 30% off everything in store. Or keep your eyes peeled for new pieces being added to our online shop at http://www.sewvintage.co.uk/.

It's great to be back, and we shall be seeing you very soon!
