Collector’s Report on Anita’s Vintage Fashion Fair
At the 20th Century Theatre Sunday 16th of March 2008
AVFF fairs are normally held 6 times a year at Battersea Arts Centre ( Lavender Hill, London, SW11 5NT.) However at the moment they are holding the fairs at the 20th Century Theatre in Westbourne Grove. This is a much smaller venue; there are normally approx 65 stalls.
Whenever I go to a Vintage fair I am always on the look out for jewellery, that’s my weakness. So for me this fair was a little disappointing. Not enough jewellery for my tastes. However, having said that if you are a textile artist, fashion designer, fashion student or collect buttons & trimmings then this is the fair for you! There were vintage buttons, trimming, beaded fragments, ribbons and fabric scraps galore.
Here’s what I bought:
Opera length pink Opalite glass bead necklace £15
3 strand Blue/White swirled Art glass beads necklace £20
Both from Sue Whitaker, here are some pics of her gorgeous stand.
The next fair:
6th April 2008
The 20th Century Theatre
291 Westbourne Grove
Notting Hill
London
W11
Open 10am - 4.30pm
Admission £5 (students with valid card - £2.50 acc. children under 16 - free)
