Knee deep in party season and the stores are filled to the brim with body con mini skirts and brightly hued maxi dresses. There is nothing wrong with dressing on trend but if the styles on offer don't suit your figure or your taste, then vintage can be an exciting alternative.
With an eye for expert tailoring and the feminine details which appeal to the girly girl in all of us, Surry Hill’s Coco Repose is a match made in heaven for the fashion original that has grown out of op shopping.
Coco Repose was opened in 2007 by fashion designer and avid vintage collector Jessica Guthrie, making available something that few other second-hand and vintage retailers in Sydney had offered to date; high end vintage in romantic cuts and quality fabrics, mixed in with a few limited edition originals from Jessica’s own house label.
Style conscious types that wish to turn heads this Christmas party season will love the lady-like glamour of Coco Repose.
The store’s collection is being continually replenished with the best of the best of vintage, lovingly sourced from overseas and appealing to the ever increasing number of fashion lovers who are drawn to the originality, fine fabrics and tailored fits that quality vintage offers.
Here is just a small selection of the one-of-a-kind pieces to wear and then cherish, plus the store also has plenty of bags, shoes, scarves, belts and particularly amazing hats and headwear to tempt.
In addition to the Fitzroy Street store, Coco Repose has a permanent concession at the Sydney Antiques Centre and is a regular at the bi-annual Love Vintage Fair at Canterbury Racecourse and the monthly Vanity Fair Vintage Market in Leichhardt.
