'Bank' you very much!

 
Our very busy fair
What a beautiful Bank Holiday, 3 days of wall to wall Mediterranean sunshine. Thankfully it didn't stop people coming to the Antiques and Vintage Fair though, in fact lots of customers came in to get out of the heat!

Lovely stall holder - Colin
Our biggest sellers of the day were our waistcoats. Thanks to Gareth Southgate, Waistcoat Wednesday and Peaky Blinders demand's shot up. We've always loved them and think every discerning gentleman/lady should have at least one in his/her wardrobe. Some of the waistcoats we sold were our more traditional ones, others we'd upcycled with vintage buttons and military badges. They look great for all occasions with jeans or with a suit and we'll be bringing more waistcoats with us to our next fair on 21 September.  

One of our upcycled waistcoats - it sold
On Sunday we met with Alison who bought a gorgeous vintage Jane Shilton handbag which never been used and still had the original paper label attached. It transpired later on that Alison's ancestors owned a handbag manufacturer that ended up being bought out by Jane Shilton! Then on Monday we met with Pauline who bought a lovely vintage Accurist mens watch for her husband after visiting our stall on Saturday. Huge thanks to both of them and everyone who came along to the fair on Saturday.

Our next fair's on Saturday 21st September but if you're looking for something particular please just get in touch. The Old's Cool Traders team are always on the hunt!
