vintage heaven on a fashion rail

The vintage fashion market at Cape Town's Labia (now on every every Sat) is the most delightful treasure trove of retro fashion finds I have seen in a long time... and its SO affordable. I found loads of fashion bargains there ... the prettiest Mad-Men inspired dresses for under R100, vintage blouses from R50 the most awesome retro boots and shoes from R350. Go and check it out. (Bonus is you can try everything on in the bathrooms inside the Labia.)

Another special find is the Love Project Gift shop (literally just behind the Labia, opp Lifestyle on kloof) It is a non-profit organization that  sells more than 60 different community projects' artistic products, and I found the most fabulous retro crocheted pieces, interesting brooches and gorgeous homeware and baby wear... also very affordable. Plus it's all for a good cause, so no guilt purchases here!

Below are some of my fabulously affordable finds from the Labia market and the Love Projects.
Happy shopping
