"A strapless purple puffy vintage formal dress, I wore it to a dress up."
Elvis Et Moi Designer — Emilie Costechareyre
"A military jacket."
St Agni Co-Founder — Lara Bluett
"I bought my sister a vintage Kingsley record player for $80. It's actually so nice, I really want to steal it from her."
P.E Nation Co-founder & Designer — Pip Edwards
"Many many gems in my cupboard have been bought from various vintage stores around the world.
From jackets, dresses, tees and my all time fave denim - it’s hard to narrow it down to one. But the best finds have definitely been in Tokyo, LA and London. I love to find vintage tees and denim."
alice McCALL Founder & Designer — Alice McCall
"I come back to my Aussie Clark pirate blouse time and time again. It’s a collector’s item and one of the inspirations I started my brand on."
SOH Head of Design — Nathan Brown
"I bought the greatest brown leather jacket at a thrift shop down in Tasmania that I lived in.
Fitted like a glove, had fur on the inside, and smelt like the 70’s."
Blacklist Director — Jaynie Johnson
"So many things, but our first dining table was pretty special. A lot of wonderful moments happened around it."
Buck Palmer Founder & Designer — Buck Palmer
"Best purchase was an old vintage record player. It still sits in my house as a centre piece and works!"
