Catwalk Creative Vintage is an exclusively online business established in 2006 by me, Louise Sleigh. I'm an active member of the Vintage Fashion Guild (VFG), an international organisation for vintage fashion professionals. VFG sellers are held to a Code of Practice which ensures members are committed to providing accurate and complete information about our goods, and also good business ethics.

Merchandise is sourced from the UK and though contacts I have developed worldwide. Most high-end designer pieces are purchased from private clients so you are sure to find something unique and exclusive to add to your collection. I guarantee a first class shopping experience. I have many years experience in the customer service industry and my aim is to always exceed your expectations. Items are inspected thoroughly inside and out, cleaned and refurbished with any faults noted.

Genuine vintage pieces, meaning over 20 years old, has already had a previous life, and although the highest standards are maintained, some wear to the fabric is inevitable. However, I am very careful to point out any condition issue so you can feel confident with your purchases. Vintage enthusiasts know that the patina of age merely adds to the beauty of the piece. If you are looking for merchandise that is in brand-new and unused condition, then vintage is perhaps not for you. Please take a look at the Vintage Condition Chart to see how I rate my merchandise.

 

When not on the search for vintage finds, I am editor of vintage fashion blog, Catwalk Threads, and a freelance writer for various e-zines including The Fashion Birdcage, Athena and the UK edition of Etsy blog, Storque.

Please check back at least once a week to see what new items have arrived. If you don’t have time, just follow me on Facebook or Twitter, read the blog, Catwalk Threads, or add yourself to my newsletter for updates.
