360 Degrees Vintage




Last weekend I made a discovery... another little pocket of London which I had never visited before. Of course, I have a long way to go before I am as clued up as a true Londoner - but I was, nonetheless, content with stumbling across 360 Degrees Vintage - a quaint vintage boutique, tucked away inside the hustle and bustle of Greenwich's Saturday market.

True to it's name, your vision is pulled in every direction as every nook and cranny of the characteristic space is adorned with lovingly worn fabrics and quirky, one-off pieces. From 1940s tailored blazers to heavily sequinned eighties gowns, I couldn't help but be drawn to the retro furniture, styled alongside draping jacquard fabrics (reminiscent of my grandma's living room curtains) and eclectic accessories that have been strategically placed to look as though they just 'happen to be there.'

... And as if the chintzy styling wasn't enough, the fact that the owners embrace everything patriarchal is enough to temporarily transport you to a vision of good, old fashioned Britain - whereby drinking Earl Grey tea and passing the day by with a little needlework seems quite an idyllic way of life. x
