She Seldom Blushes

Fern from She Seldom Blushes gives us the run down on her boutique in the heart of Fremantle:

Having inherited the bargain-hunting, rummager-gatherer nature of her mother, Fern Vallesi has been fossicking through op-shops, garage sales and Sunday markets looking for the elusive bargain since she was in her early teens.

Since around the same time she has been making jewellery with her preloved finds... And in more recent years she began to wholesale these to boutiques in Perth under the label She Seldom Blushes.

Now She Seldom Blushes is a store in the Atwell Arcade in Fremantle stocking Fern’s jewellery, the jewellery of other local designers and other things she loves... including vintage clothing and accessories and gifts with a retro edge.

Hey Joe Retro

Hey Joe Retro is another of our stallholders at our October Fair. Read on...

What sort of things can we expect from Hey Joe at the VVV Fair this year? We will be previewing our range of bathers and beachwear, bringing down menswear for the guys along with some records, a selection of our vintage designer sunglasses and a few choice pieces of vintage homewares, along with summer day dresses and tooled leather bags..

Where did the name come from? Its a combination of a Jimi Hendrix song, our location on South St, and the first two initials of my name Helen Joyce - says it all about the shop.

Why retro? why not new? Who wants new just like everyone else, retro and vintage provides something unique, and retro especially gives you bright plastics, funky flowers and puts a smile on your face.

Where can we find you? Cnr South and Stokes Sts White Gum Valley, 5 minutes out of Fremantle

What are your opening hours? Thurs - Sun 11am-6pm

Benswick Vintage

Just one of the many stallholders at our next Vintage Vixen Fair! The kids from Benswick Vintage told us a bit about themselves...

Benswick Vintage came to be when both of us discovered a mutual love for fashions past and decided to venture through and scour the op-shops of Perth and grand-parents wardrobes for practical garments. Both having a creative streak we started to re-design garments and bring some of the more simple designs to life, we aim to produce clothing that is practical and affordable to keep Vintage lovers (especially students) in Perth looking amazing.

Ragdoll Photography

Our photographer this event is Shirin Carter from Ragdoll Photography...to check out more of Ragdolls work head to their facebook page...

Ragdoll Photography

A patchwork, a swath of colour, a kaleidoscope.
A lens full of colour and motion, faces, smiles and tears.

Ragdoll Photography is a small town, big time grip into the alter ego.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Ragdoll Photography is a venture of Shirin Carter, an ex-journalist, and now a professional photographer.

Through targeting the inner superhero, fairy and rock goddess for pacifist fire, she is pulling the portrait to pieces and discovering new light and dark, colours and life within everyday people.

The next could be you.
