VINTAGE fashion businesses in York are creating an alternative day’s shopping in York.

Alex Claydon, who set up her vintage fashion business Audrey and Joan’s, when she inherited her great aunt’s wardrobe, has set up the event to celebrate York’s love of vintage.

York Does Vintage, which takes place at St William’s College on March 5, from 10am to 4pm, will have about 25 stalls of Alex’s fellow York and North Yorkshire vintage organisations, including Violet Wilde, which sells vintage-inspired lingerie, vintage fashion retailers Mad Elizabeth and Scarborough’s Vintage Junkie, House of Avalon, Nancy’s Vintage, and vintage accessories business Razorblade Mermaid.

Artist Klare Lutwyche, who specialises in vintage-style patterns and flowers, will be personalising items for shoppers and vintage tea sets and cupcakes will be provided by the Curiositea Shop with Revelation Booths providing photo booths for shoppers to save snaps of the event.

Alex, who runs her business from her home in York, online and at vintage fairs, is also hoping to secure hair and make-up artists for the event.

she said: “I want it to be more of an event rather than just a fair.

“In the future I have plans for big weekend events in May and in the summer, so I am putting out the feelers as to what takes and what does not.”

the event is happening the same day as the Souk Fashion and Lifestyle Bazaar in the Park Inn Hotel, in North Street.

Alex said they hope the two events would provide an alternative day’s shopping for York and they are marketing the events jointly to encourage people to go to both.

she said: “They work really well together and in future we will combine our efforts into one big event.

“The response has been fantastic. I did not realise how interested people are in it all. we are expecting at least 500 people to come on the day.”

the £1 ticket price will raise money for York children’s charity SNAPPY, for which Alex volunteered for during her days as a student.
