painted black

Little shop with lots of interesting things to take home: from dresses to old cameras, vintage buttons or sunglasses! If you like vintage shops, this one is a must in you shopping route.

When I’m not on hen do’s or day release, I’m shopping … Fact. !
Some people say that crouch end is just a poor mans billericay, but I have to disagree. Yea sure there’s your odd group of fat girls wearing wrank jean shorts with nobbley knees and weighty legs, accompanied by a almost compulsory, hench black boyfriends. But on the whole it’s a classy area. In the heart of crouch end you will find this beautiful vantage and second hand store.
So all my friends keep asking me, just how do I get so many men (multiples at once at times). They often say things like «Kerry. B how did you bang that hunk» or «Kez is your muff made of magic because you are well and truly batting above your weight there».
Well the painted black is my secret weapon, if there is one thing men like more then a cheap date and a quick drunk it’s a moderately over weight middle aged woman wearing vintage clothing.
Yours in mind, body, and spirt.

Great little vintage shop. They really cater for all needs. You can find clothes both from the early 20’s and the 80’s. I happened to walk by it a couple of weeks ago and decided to walk in. As I walked in the shop owner greeted me with a huge smile on her face and was very welcoming. She helped me find the things I was interested in and I made a new friend there– her dog. The prices might seem a bit high for some people, but there are some great finds in this little shop and the quality of the clothes is very high. There are also a lot of accessories, some of which are quite over the top, but others are very nice and the owner helped me find the right ones to suit my new dresses.
Overall an excellent little vintage shop.
