The Joy of Gloves
The weather is so lovely today, perfect for catching up on some laundry for the shop. As you know, everything at Circa is cleaned before it goes in, and for most items of vintage clothing that entails hand washing.
Today I’m tidying up all the bits and pieces that haven’t fitted into previous wash days [...]
