Circa Vintage Pop-Up Sale

Hi all, big news today: I’m going to start a PhD soon in fashion history!

As a result, we’re currently documenting my big collection of vintage fashion. Over 45 years, the collection has grown too big for me to comfortably manage, so I’m going to keep the pieces that are relevant to my research focus (or that I just love too much to part with), while rehoming a big chunk to museum collections and anyone who enjoys beautiful clothing of the past.

Here’s your chance to come and see, touch and try on hundreds of beautiful garments, chat vintage and take something special home! There’s almost two hundreds of fashion to choose from including special pieces that were photographed for my books ‘Love Vintage’ and ‘Style is Eternal’, appeared in fashion exhibitions and parades and lectures. Most of it has never been offered for sale before, especially not at these prices.

If your collecting organisation would like some donations of Australian fashion, please let me know so that we can help fill gaps in your collection.

Funds raised support Cat People of Melbourne and my research in post-WWII Australian fashion history.

Different eras will be offered on different days, so please book according to your preference – or come more than once! Themes are:

– Bridal and formalwear: Monday (Easter) 21 Apr 10am-1pm

– Antique and Interwar (1900s-30s): Wednesday 23-Apr & Thursday 24-Apr 10am-1pm

– War II and Post-war (1940s-1965): Saturday 26-Apr & Monday28-Apr 10am-1pm

– Retro (1960s-1990s): Tuesday 29-Apr & Wednesday 30-Apr 10am-1pm
