Greyhound Vintage Grand Shop Opening

I'd just like to start by saying a big thank you to everyone who came down to show their support on Saturday. We really appreciated you taking the time to come and check out the shop - even if it was only because you were lured by the free booze and cake!




Extra-special thanks is required to the following people, in no particular order:

Yvette of Red's Ruby Slippers for flyer design, painting, pricing, sewing and general brilliance!


Jirral of Beatnik Blonde for her AMAZING wall mural and logo, photos, chalkware, cakes and profanity.



Mark for his manly contributions of carpentry, joinery and sensible advice.

My Mom and Dad for funding, love and generally busting their arses.


Greg Thee Ditor for putting up with my madness and loving/supporting me despite it.


So, now all that's out of the way, we can get onto the important bit! PHOTOS!



























The shop opening hours are still slightly up in the air due to 'real life' (i.e my other job) interference. The shop should be manned (or womanned!) most afternoons, but definitely all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday (11am - 7pm).



There is no wi-fi down in the basement at present, although we are working on this and should have it ASAP. This means we can't be contacted by phone or email when in the bowels of the market, at least for the time being. Once we are connected we will be able to help you find us when you get lost (!)  but will also be able to post some items for sale online, for those of you who can't make it down in person.



We are hoping that word of mouth will get around, and that people will start to learn where we are. If you're reading this and were one of our lovely visitors on Saturday, please take the time to share this blog, but also our Facebook and Twitter pages for maximum exposure!

If you've liked what you've seen, please recommend us where possible. We are confident enough to claim that we supply the best mid-century ladies clothing in Camden, possibly even North London as a whole! Since the sad closure of The Girl Can't Help It in Alfie's Antiques Market, where else can you find sequins, lurex, lame, Hawaiian and novelty prints to touch and try?

Hope to see you soon and thank you all once again for coming.
