Cool 70’s shirts

Friday, April 25th, 2008

The 70s are back! With a growing number of 70s themed parties people are rediscovering the disco era.

Rather than hiring outlandish disco clothes people are buying original 70s shirts. This era saw the boom in textured nylon and polyester shirts with fabulous vibrant designs and superb skinny, fitted cuts. They provide a fashionable alternative to the mass produced high street shirts that allow people to express their individuality.
Devoted 2 Vintage has been expanding their collection of Californian 70s shirts to cater for this booming market. They have a huge, diverse stock of original 70s shirts from Joel, Van Heusen, Sutton Place, Branford, Kennington, Haband, Huk-a-Poo and Oleg Cassini.

The Holy Grail of disco shirts however is the iconic Italian Nik-Nik brand. These shirts were worn by 70s fashion elite and Rock stars. These shirts are made from silky textured nylon and feature fantastic designs. Worldwide demand for these shirts continues to drive the prices and this looks set to continue.

So next time you buy a shirt or get invited to a 70s party come and check out our fantastic range of shirts and stand out from the crowd.

Vintage Clothing - The Green Alterative

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Over the last decade the environment has been raised to the top of the political agenda. People have become very aware of the impact they make on the future of the planet.
This has resulted in a large increase in recycling, with everyone doing their bit to reduce their environmental impact.
However, counter to this the recent growth in demand for cheap, disposable Fast Fashion over the last few years has simply added to the problem. This industry produces vast amounts of poor quality clothing, often manufactured in terrible conditions in developing countries.
More and more people are discovering that Vintage clothing not only provides an eco friendly alternative but also provides them with unique, superior quality clothing at fantastic prices.
The fashion industry has always been inspired by previous trends and today is no different. Pick up any fashion magazine and you will see modern clothes based on designs from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. However, buying modern fashion not only has a significant environmental impact but there is a good chance that you will meet someone else wearing exactly the same item.
Vintage clothing offers the buyer the chance to express their individuality. Not only will they be buying clothes that nobody else will be wearing, but they are buying a piece of history that has stood the test of time because of the quality of the construction and fabric.
Devoted 2 Vintage was created to bring a huge and diverse range of vintage clothing to the market. They don’t deal in museum pieces, instead they hand-pick wearable items for all occasions.
Whether you are a woman looking for 1950s rock and roll swing dresses, revived by the recent Hairspray movie, classic 1960s mod and shift dresses , 1970s disco era dress or
men looking for fantastic 1950s leather biker jackets, 1950s American bowling and Hawaiian shirts or original 1970s disco shirts Devoted 2 Vintage will be able to help.
So next time you go shopping, think green and consider Vintage Clothing.
