What A Rental Success!

Our three amazing rental 50s hooped dresses.
They are beautiful!
Saturday, as you all should know by now after copious amounts of us tweeting/blogging/facebooking, was the launch of our stunning new rental range. We brightened up the shop with a lick of paint and a few quirky phoroframes, re-arranged everything to fit in all of our beautiful rental gowns and we even got involved with some baking! We had homemade cupcakes, scones, flapjacks and some yummy bubbly that we had to try and resist the temptation of too much. We managed to get our boutique looking spectacular, if we do say so ourselves, and received some very flattering comments about how great the place was looking. (We were very chuffed!


Vintage Deli's Rental Collection


All in all we had a great turn out and the entire day and night was a complete success! Yay! It was great to see so many people taking an interest in our new collections and supporting us so much! The Team had so much fun getting our hair styled in some stunning vintage ways by Fredz Hairdressers and getting all glammed up in our vintage frocks. It was fantastic to know that all our hard work and planning was worth while when all of our guests showed up.



We had our favourite new toy on hand to document the night too; our new polaroid camera! We had great fun taking pictures of each other and all of our guests. The camera will also be on hand at Jelly Fest where we will be doing a little competition for you all, but we'll tell you about that one later!


So after a fantastic, fun filled evening, we would like to thank everyone who attended our event and supported our new range, it means the world to know we have so many people out there who are enjoying what we do at the moment and there is still so much more to come this summer! Watch out!!


All our love
A very happy and thankful

One Day To Go!!

It's finally here! Tomorrow is the day we've been working towards for the past couple of months and after much planning, organising, selecting and tweaking we think we are all ready for the launch of our rental range!! How blummin exciting! We've even tried our hands at a bit of DIY in the shape of re-painting the shop and adding little bits like our quirky frames to spruce it up. And, if we do say so ourselves, its looking pretty fab! What do you think?


In true vintage style, tomorrow the Vintage Deli team will be donning some gorgeous vintage outfits and having our hair styled to create that perfect vintage atmosphere. (We definitely hope you will all be joining in with the fun by doing the same. Fredz Hairdressers next door will be on hand and more than happy to help create your perfect vintage look! Pop in and see what they can fix up with your barnet!)

Not only are we just launching our rental selection, but we will be introducing you to an exclusive preview of our very exciting re-worked range. All modified and re-worked by our newest intern Sammy

Finally, here is our last sneak peak at another one of our rental gowns. If you want to see more, then you'd better get yourself down to the launch tomorrow! We'd be delighted to see you all!!

See you tomorrow!!

Loving The Stunning Sixties Scene

What a glorious day it is today in sunny Burnham Market! The perfect start to the weekend. 

And is there a better way to ease yourself into it than by relaxing in the garden, at the park or beach with a nice magazine and a cold beverage? We think not! Even though, sadly we can't join you just yet, we have been browsing the glossies and keeping up to date with all the current trends and guess what? Sixties are back on the scene! Where the summer is all about the stunning seventies, we are moving back a decade into the sassy sixties for autumn/winter 11/12. How do we know this? Well we can't go against what fashion bible Vogue say now can we? 


Take your inspiration from fashion icons like Twiggy, Mary Quant and Julie Christie to get that perfect sixties look and be ahead of the game for next season. Come into our Burnham Market Boutique and have a shop around to see what sixties specialities we have. Or if you can't make the trip, then get yourself online to browse our website! We promise there will be a lovely selection of cute shifts, graphic-prints, and gorgeous footwear for you to choose from.


Below you can see the Sixties Jean Paul Gaultier dress on the catwalk against Vintage Deli's 60s style Maude Jackson printed shift.

We think that both of these dresses are gorgeous, but why fantasise about a catwalk dream dress when you can buy it right here!! 

To all of you who have been following our blog lately, we'd like to give you a massive thank you, it's so exciting to know that we have vintage lovers from all over the world keeping an eye on what we do! So to follow on from our last blog, we would like to give you another sneaky peak at another one of our beautiful rental dresses....

Creating A Vintage Dream

Sorry to all of you vintage lovers that we haven't blogged for a week or so but we have been super busy organising and planning lots of new things for our new Buy It. Rent It. Re-Work It. sections. So while you have all been chilling at the beach with a Mr Whippy and a bag of greasy chips, we have been all work and (almost) no play here at our Vintage Deli Boutique. All hands have been on deck to plan the official launch party for our rental range, even Barnaby has popped in to help! We have been creating invites, an amazing guest list, selecting our most prestigious gowns and dealing with all of the other niggly bits of planning a party. But things are all coming together and we are on track to have an amazing night! The event will take place on the 23rd July at our Burnham Market Boutique and we are all ridiculously excited. We know this because all we've been doing is run around the shop trying to find something that WE can wear!!


Other than all of the fun of planning an event, we have also found ourselves another new intern! (how lucky are we?!) Her name is Sammy Giles. She has recently graduated from a Fashion Textiles degree at Newport University. She will be specialising in our re-worked section. Turning our not so exciting or over-worn dresses into stunning re-worked vintage dreams. We cannot wait to have her fully on board to shine her creativity all over Vintage Deli.


We hope to see you in the shop soon! 
All our love
An excitable
Vintage Deli Team xxx
