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

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

Buy It. Rent It. Re-work It.


Hello all! 
We hope you're all enjoying the beginnings of summer! While you have all been sipping on your afternoon teas and licking ice creams at the seaside, we have been super busy, throwing ideas around and coming up with new ways to make shopping at Vintage Deli better for you! 

We came up with the slogan 'Buy It. Rent It. Re-work It.' symbolising the three new areas of Vintage Deli. As always you can fully purchase our Vintage beauties. But we have added a re-worked section; old jeans that we have spruced up and re-worked into summer loving Vintage shorts! These will be in the shop for you to buy very soon! A great idea if we do say so ourselves. 

However we feel that our real achievement of the past month is the launch of our new rental section for the more unique dresses we have. We now have a completely up and running rental service where you can hire out the dress of your dreams for three days, while paying only a fraction of the original price! We have the creme de la creme of true Vintage gowns ready and waiting for you to take them to the biggest events in town. The best part is, you will never be caught dead in the same dress twice again!
We are hoping to soon be adding a rental section to our website to make it that much easier for you. We will be sure to keep you posted on that one. So tell all of your friends about it and come and visit the shop to find out what delights we can show you.

On top of all of our other hard work, we have also managed to put together our second styling post; hoping to help inspire you with many more vintage styling ideas.


Here we have one for the daring! A beautiful 1970s handmade gown that is free flowing, giving you that completely loose, comfortable feeling while looking amazing at the same time. It is bright, fun, vibrant and full to the brim with patterns. Light and soft, perfect for festival fun! We have accessorised it with a chunky turquoise necklace, to emphasise the colours in the material and a floppy green, wide rimmed hat to keep the flowing feel continuing throughout the outfit. Colour clashing is set to be big this summer so be ahead of everyone else with this stunner!

All our love,
A very busy and excited Vintage Deli Team
