WHY BUY VINTAGE? - There’s

only is it cool to be an eco-friendly fashionista but what better
than knowing you’re purchasing the most dreamy merchandise that
no-one else will have? You’re guaranteed that every piece of vintage
merchandise sold here is a complete one-off and therefore exclusive to you.
That’s why shopping vintage is so exciting. You just never know what you’re
going to find! So, if you are a budding fashionista, you can adapt
your favourite look from the catwalks of
VINTAGE / USED CONDITION – Wearing vintage clothing is a way of wearing history, so it goes without saying that most genuine vintage clothing has been worn before. Some wearing to the fabric is therefore inevitable. However, Catwalk Creative’s aim is to bring you the best quality, lightly used vintage clothing around. If there’s a fault, it will be noted clearly in the description and the price will reflect that too. It’s all in lovely, wearable condition so there won’t be any nasty surprises when you open your parcel! You may even come across a vintage garment that’s never been worn before so it will be in wonderful ‘mint’ condition! Most items have been laundered and/or dry-cleaned so your garment will reach you in pristine condition and ready to wear. All you need to do is put on your vintage lovelies and go strut your stuff! We’re loving that!
CATWALK VINTAGE CLOTHING is hand-picked from all over the world. You'll find fresh and funky vintage frocks, separates, outerwear and accessories; all available at affordable prices. In addition, if you are shopping on a really tight budget, take a look at Catwalk's Vintage Sale Items department where you'll find merchandise at £10 and under (plus FREE UK postage)! All departments are listed in a user-friendly way, some having additional sub-headings to make it easier to find what you’re looking for. If you’re new to buying vintage and you’re a little confused as to what the term actually means, take a look at How to Wear Vintage where you can find out more. The term ‘vintage’ is open to much interpretation of course.

DRESS AGENCY MERCHANDISE – For those of you who just can't resist a design label, the Dress Agency Merchandise department is definitely the place to be. There's everything from Christian Louboutin shoes to Samantha Thavasa handbags and some wonderful evening wear too. Catwalk Creative’s philosophy is all about recycling merchandise, whether it’s fifty years old or almost new. A garment that’s been purchased in haste or one that no longer fits properly should not be left to vanquish at the back of a wardrobe. So, here you’ll find a mouth-watering selection of designer pieces, all in A1 condition; some of it being brand-new and completely unworn. Just take a look around to see all the marvellous recycled goodies you can buy, all from the comfort of your armchair! The Dress Agency department caters for men, women and children. Stock is changed weekly so do keep checking back to see what's available. Catwalk Creative is here to provide for all your fashionista needs!
DISCLAIMER - All designer branded merchandise sold by Catwalk Creative is genuine. That's guaranteed. Some dress agency items are brand new with tags still attached; others have been gently worn. Catwalk Creative is in no way affiliated with any designer brand or label.
GIFT CERTIFICATES - Run out of ideas for gifts? If so, Catwalk Creative Gift Certificates are the answer. They'll be sent by email to the address of your choice. You can print them off and put them inside a card or the certificate can be emailed directly to the recipient of your choice. They make the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries or as a special 'thank you'. Each certificate has a unique reference number. You can purchase them in increments from £20 to £100 and they're valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Please refer to Terms and Conditions (item 13) for full details.
PHOTOGRAPHS - Viewing merchandise up-close and personal is really important when buying on-line. Most on-line stores will provide just one photograph which can make your decision to buy a difficult one. Catwalk Creative accepts that without seeing an item ‘in the flesh’, it can be quite daunting to make that special purchase. What's the texture of the fabric like? Will it co-ordinate with the handbag I’ve bought? Sound familiar? Catwalk Creative takes all the indecision away by providing you with three high-quality photographs next to each item description - PLUS there’s a whole lot more in the Gallery to drool over. There's a Vintage Gallery and a Dress Agency Gallery. Just click on the arrows, left or right, to move around each section. You can get a real close-up view of the textures and colours and if you’d still like more, just complete the contact form and I’ll send you some.
SIZING - As
well as viewing the merchandise, it’s really important you get the right fit.
There’s nothing more frustrating than receiving an item that simply doesn’t fit
properly. Remember too that clothes pre-1960 do not have size labels and
even if they did, they wouldn’t necessarily correspond to today’s sizes. That’s
why Catwalk Creative provides you with full and accurate measurements for each
garment. If you have your vital statistics to hand – bingo! If
not, simply use the measurements provided against a similar piece of your own
clothing and always add on a good inch or two for a really comfortable fit.
There’s a handy Size Guide to help you along your way along
with a modern clothing conversion chart with international sizes too.
FINAL NOTE - When you're searching
for your vintage gems, muse on the wise words of American writer Gail Ruben
Bereny who said, ‘Above all remember that the most important thing you can take
anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it’s an open mind’.
