Curated vintage clothing and retro accessories from the 1940s through to the '80s bedeck the "Ace of Spades". With an interior resembling someone's spare room or an attic perhaps, the setting is suitably ad hoc and crammed with previously worn and forgotten garments, accessories, shoes and costume jewellery. The flea market atmosphere is further enhanced by a wonderful collection of artifacts, curios and one of two antiques. Browse neat rows of hand-me-down skirts, shirts and dresses under shelves lined with sequined clutch bags, old typewriters, bow ties, oversized berets and blood red Doc Marten boots. The Bésame Cosmetics range and costume jewellery hark back to the golden age of Hollywood. This is fashion theatre at its most alluring.
