Dorothy&evelyn vintage
In a sweat shop age of trend and reproduction, today's woman is stripped of her uniquity. Fashion is fickle and so it's worth.
No wonder vintage fashion is so popular and yet so hard to find. Time is the very essence of vintage and the one thing so few of us has.
It takes a skilled hand to know where and when to find these garments, a craftsman's eye to dust them off and breathe new life into them, and a certain, simple vision to bring thousands of these perfect pieces to the rest of the world.
Designer, Rebecca Post has done just this. Under the namesake of her grandmothers, Dorothy & Evelyn, she has raised an online catalogue of uncovered, restored and chronicled vintage garments.
Being vintage simply isn't enough; each piece must be unique, exquisite and beautiful. Items are handpicked from all the corners of the world, from Portobello Road to the markets in Paris.

Dorothy&evelyn handmade
At dorothy&evelyn we believe in supporting our local artist's and creative minds. These lovely little things are the result of skilled craftsman not large-scale manufacturing, a one-of-a-kind item with meaning.
Buying handmade is better for people.
The ascendancy of chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing, furnishing, and decorating alike. We are encouraged to be consumers, not producers, of our own culture. Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.
Buying handmade is better for the environment.
The accumulating environmental effects of mass production are a major cause of global warming and the poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes a small blow to the forces of mass production.
