Anyone for a Tour?

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but this post is not lethal we promise!

We thought it would be fun to give you all a little tour of our ebay office. Located Separately from our stores, we have a beautiful office full of stock, mannequins, cameras and computers. This is where we photograph, list, and dispatch all of the vintage treasures you find online. Curious? Here's our office...

Barbara Streisand watches over us ever day. The silent boss, she always makes sure we work hard, bringing you the best vintage clothing everyday...just don't look her in the eye!

We have some amazing vintage wall decorations, including a wall full of beautiful vintage handbags, ranging from the 1920s-80s. We also have a wall hung with bowler hats, and let's not forget our Scottish Crafts tea towel; a office favourite!

Are you ready to continue?

This is where we photograph everything, to upload it online for your viewing...

We then get ready to upload the pictures to the computer, and in turn ebay itself! This could not be done without our beautiful mantel piece decorations, ranging from bay city roller records, to harris tweed teddy bears. All a vital part of ebay selling. *cough*

We hope you enjoyed the tour! Can you remember the way out? See you soon!

Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair!

 

Did you guys make it along to Judy's affordable vintage fair last week? Well, we did and had a great time spotting Edinburgh most stylish!It was a great opportunity to dig through other people's vintage collections! There was many a bargain to be had which certainly puts a smile on our faces! Check out some of the great shots we took! 

 

So many amazing things to be found! We love all the little trinkets and accessories; I wonder how many were found in the pockets of vintage garments! 

 

We even bumped into some of our loyal Armstrong's shoppers!

We thought you guys looked great in your clashing prints! Love the rose hair band against her pastel hair!

Great contrast of graphic prints with a band t-shirt! Such individual style is hard to find these days ladies! Keep shopping at Armstrong's!

We loved this 1940s inspired outfit! Cute cardi over a ditzy floral print dress! Cinching the waist with a skinny belt creates such a lovely feminine silhouette!

 

Hats off to another great day and a great fair! Until next time...

Armstrongs Street View

Here at Armstrongs we love to see what you're all wearing! On Saturday we spotted these stylish individuals Shopping at our Grassmarket Branch:

Meet Annie Armstrongs and Alex Gordon, both Students. Annie is wearing a Coat and stole she was trying on in the store, with Converse High Tops. The mix of casual and formal looks fantastic! Alex is wearing an Old Navy Shirt, with a bow tie and fez from Armstrongs; a daring look he is pulling off!

Begbie Boyle, Singer and Guitarist in 'The Rules' (left) knows how to wear denim! Wearing jeans by Miss Selfridge, a cap form 'Chinese laundry' in hull, and shoes by Office. And Jay Lynch, a Joiner (right) is looking cool and collected wearing a cap from ‘The Face’ on Carnaby street, Levi jeans, and a M&S jumper. Both wanted to say- Support independent music in 2012!

Fiona Mounstepehn is looking chic in a Topshop coat, a vintage shirt from a kilo sale in London, her mum's bag from when she was a student, and converse shoes. We love her look! Fiona was shopping for her boyfriend, but couldn’t resist looking at our womenswear!
