What inspires you to get out of bed in the morning?

K: Coffee and the realization that only in my dreams am I able to travel back in time to London, Hawaii and California to the 1960’s to pull stuff off the shop. I actually have to get out and find it!

J: Strong tea and the promise of more bed later.

D: Breakfast!

C: Food.

B: Life, fashion, friends and family.

Where is your favourite place to shop for vintage in Perth?

K: The outer suburbs of Perth. Not sure why but it’s the best source for beautiful vintage that’s been carefully kept in the wardrobe by their original owners for decades.

J: Any vintage clothing I purchase for my own wardrobe (that I haven’t
sourced myself) I usually buy from the other four Collectomaniacs!
Sometimes I have to ban myself from looking through their stalls to
avoid financial starvation!

D: It will be the WE HEART VINTAGE market!

C: My mum’s house!

B: I do most of my vintage hunting in Op shops across Perth and Mandurah, but I love to pick up a bargain at the Sugar Blue Burlesque Retro Market in Northbridge.

What is your favourite vintage piece?

K: My bright red 60’s MOD vinyl cape!

J: One piece in my collection that gives me shivers is a late Victorian
(circa 1890) guipere lace jacket. It’s too precious to wear out,
though i occassionaly swan around the house in it feeling domestically
elegant.

D: A 1930’s black dress that I have never worn.

C: Roberto Cavalli bag!

B: It’s hard to pick a favourite, but right now I would have to say my 1980’s Ray Costarello purple party frock. It’s almost like a fitted coat in shape, and it has a real swing to the skirt!

How and why did you start We Heart Vintage?

K: Because we are all obsessed with vintage and we needed a regular venue to share our passion.

J: I was selling vintage clothing at the Oxford st market when I became
aquainted with a few other vintage clothing sellers. After some
excited chit chats we felt it was our collecive duty to start our own
market. Hence, We Heart Vintage was born.

D: As a collective we wanted a fun place to sell affordable vintage clothing and accessories.

C: I’ve been collecting for years and I managed to stumble across some like minded people with the same collecting illness.

B: Hours of brainstorming with like minded vintage lovers at various markets across town. We felt there was a niche for a vintage market, and Mt Lawley is the perfect venue for such a venture!

Five words to describe yourself?

K: Eclectic, colourful, creative, obsessed and fair.

J: Animated, thrifty, batty, emotionally colourful.

D: Innovative, stylish, friendly, individual and passionate (about collecting).

C: Creative, sporty, genuine (stumped for the other two).

B: Loyal, quirky, determined, fun and frivolous.
