GET INSPIRED TO… DIG FOR VINTAGE!

It’s like walking into a time machine. It stimulates the mind, memories come flooding back from childhood, teenage years, setting up home, rails of designer fashion, the iconic 1970s print, the stunning 1960s geometric patterned curtains, antique art, ceramics, books, and furniture all carefully curated, and each piece with its own story to tell.

Sarah Campbell says buying from Dig For Vintage is more than just purchasing an item that catches your eye: “It’s about progressing the movement of material sustainability, about recycling, reusing and upcycling quality fashion, furniture, and homewares.”

Mike Hamlet says: “This is what drives the Dig For Vintage team. Every personally selected item within our unique shop is chosen for its quality, history, and place within the decade of origin. It’s thoroughly researched and priced by comparison within the current marketplace to determine the best price for each item. This ensures a fair price policy for both our customers and our suppliers.”

Dig For Vintage is a sustainability-responsible retailer, using recycled paper bags and packaging; even their electricity supply is from 100% renewable sources.

As well as supplying a broad range of unique quality vintage pieces, Dig For Vintage is an approved and trained retailer of Annie Sloan’s world-famous Chalk Paint and accessories range, which dovetails perfectly into the trend for upcycling and refreshing tired pieces from your home, or renovating and updating antique or vintage furniture, home decorating and much more.

Dig For Vintage is very much part of the Ryde community, giving personal and niche advice on the pieces for sale and the use of the Annie Sloan colour palette with a range of brushes, waxes, lacquers, stencils, and even a selection of Annie Sloan books.
