AMAZING news - i had to share it! (sorry susie! x)
Vintage and retro fashion items from the 1930s to the present day will be for sale at bargain prices in the Angels Big Vintage Clothing Sale at its Wembley warehouse on Saturday 6th December.
Angels’ stock has been expanded by the acquisition of the BBC Resources Costumes earlier in 2008, leading to both pressure on space and so a sale is necessary.
Over 30,000 items of vintage clothing, accessories and jewellery will be available
It is the first time in Angels’ 160-year history that stock will be sold directly to the public.
Angels is the world’s longest-established supplier of costumes to the film, theatre, and television industries. Top fashion houses regularly use the Angels costume collection – the largest in Europe with over 5 million pieces – as inspiration for their own collections.
Stock will be priced not individually but by bag, with entrance gained by buying an empty bag that can be filled at will. A medium-sized bag costs £10 with a ‘supersize’ bag also available for £20. A separately-sized bag will be available for costume jewellery, priced at £20. Customers are welcome to purchase as many bags as they wish.
Examples of productions whose costumes feature in the Big Vintage Clothing Sale include Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Absolutely Fabulous, Ashes to Ashes, The House Of Eliott, Dad’s Army, Last of the Summer Wine and Dr Who.
Designer items available at the sale will include pieces by designers including BIBA, Quorum, YSL, Bus Stop, Jaques Azagury, and Jean Muir.
