Vintage at The Victoria

Hi Lovelies,

Sowe is back! We are taking part in an afternoon of vintage wonders and delights at The Victoria, Birmingham.

Sunday 29th January will be the date to get in your diary and we look forward to seeing you there.

The Victoria is located next to the Alexandra Theatre and its where all the cool kids hang out! They serve food and their amazing selection of cocktails will be 2 for the price of 1, so your even more likely to get a great deal from us Vintage sellers as we will all be tipsy!

The Victoria is a gorgeous traditional old pub from the outside, however on the inside it has a distinctly modern feel - the cocktails are amazing (they literally squeeze the blackberries in front of you hmmm)and have even been featured in Stylist magazine;

They have lots of interesting stuff going on check out their website;

Sowe will be there with lots of cosy knitted jumpers and some fresh spring wear to remind you that warmer weather is on its way..!

Vintage pastel pink dress, with gorgeous collar detail - Sowe

This is the BEST Vintage fair in Birmingham right now on a regular basis...I’ve been to many and the variety and quality at this event is great!

Admittance is £1 and it is busy all day so arrive from 11am to beat people to the bargains or later in the afternoon for a nice browse in great atmosphere....I’m bringing all of our winter goodies, coats and woolies....beautiful skirts, dress and tops and £5 bargain buys (a suitcase full!!!) Amongst all of our customised and vintage jewellery, purses, scarves, and gorgeous bags...the usual people! You know we’ll sort you out...look out for me representing “Sowe”. I’m not sure what I’ll be wearing yet, but my pics above and I’ll def help you find what you want! ; )

P.S Scroll down to older posts for piccies of some of our stock. Some being the KEYword - I have to drag 200+ items of clothing, a suitcase full of bags, 3 hatboxes & 2 satchels worth of jewellery and a suitcase of bargains there for you, but your worth it IF you find something you love! ; )

Get your needle out...in the best possible sense :s

A few of my customisations or complete creations...I'm no Chanel seamstress but I'll give it a go!ha ;)

One of my favourite dress ever! - was a long vintage dress with a flared hem, cut and sewn and boobtube added and wall-ah! LOVE!

A complete stich-up...it took me two attempts to make this...any-who no piccys of me in it, just one of my backside at Faraz's at the end of the night which I guessed no-one would like to see!!!haha

Not really too much of my creation, the cape I'm wearing is an A-mazing vintage petitcoat but has the smallest arms you will ever see, so I temporarily converted it into a cape for a wedding, instant coverage to remain demure!ha

Rihanna got me dreaming of colour blocking the day she rocked the pink crop and orange troos, another instance when I could'nt find what I wanted in the shops, so I literally wore fabric! Works for me....(Well, hopefully : s)

An oldie...a couple New Years back I went shopping with my friend Jenna to Cow, and found a really gordy dress, and here's me wearing it!!!haha With the help of my mom, we changed the skirt to angular shape rather the stiff floppy mess it was before and turned it from 80's trash to a piece I loved, not many would but thats my style all over, its marmite....

An classic white dress from ASOS I couldn't resist studding down the back, a copy from a black dress I did earlier last year...Don't mind the pics, my face looks awful!

A dress I customised for the stall but doesn't look great on me...candy colours creep up the back of the dress and back down the right arm....perfect for this seasons candy trends!

Moseley Vintage Fair

Hey hey,

This Sunday the Birmingham Vintage Fair will be at The Cross, Moseley as if this isn't enough the Moseley Jass Festival is also on all weekend. What more could you possibly want from a Sunday - Vintage treats, Jazz and the forecast is for sunshine!

Sowe will of course be there with our usual selection of Vintage clothes, accessories, bags and jewellery.

We have some brand spanking new vintage stock in this week to, here are a few sneakpeeks..

Why give yourself back ache and tennis elbow with a massive bag? We have a beautiful selection of vintage clutches in a range of colours and styles. Here is a kitsch heart shaped velvet clutch..

Ahh pretend to be a pink lady from Grease in this classic 50's look (without the tacky satin jacket)!

A great scarf can add so much to an outfit whether you wear it in your hair, as a belt, tied to your bag or even tied round your neck - try these light chiffon ones for a splash of summer freshness.

The nautical look is always a classic and this cute vintage inspired naval skirt is easy to wear with classic white pumps or coloured wedges..




Cant wait to see you there!
