It has been a while since I’ve been able to do a shop update, but just in time for the really cold weather (for us Northern Hemisphere folk at least), I’ve added a heap of cosy winter coats and fur wraps into the online shop. Have a look at what is new below, [...]

New in Store This Week: Vintage Skirts
With all the glorious weather we have been having this week, it seems fitting that I’ve been filling the store full of pretty cotton skirts – perfect for this hot Indian summer sun. In fact, right after this update, I’ll be donning a skirt myself, pouring myself a cool glass of rum and [...]
New in Store This Week: More Vintage Blues
This week in Penny Dreadful Vintage there are ever more vintage blues. My favourite is the gorgeous 1950s skirt and jacket set pictured above, by Berketex Continentals – a label made specifically for the overseas market and sold in Paris, Spain and Italy. You can just imagine this being worn along the Riviera can’t you! I [...]
New in Store This Week: The Vintage Blues
This week in Penny Dreadful Vintage I’ve been feeling blue – though not in a bad way. The weather has been sweltering – finally summer has arrived in London, and quick as a snap we have all switched from complaining about how how un-summery it is to complaining about how hot it is. [...]
New in Store This Week: Think Pink!
This week in Penny Dreadful Vintage I’ve been thinking pink (and if you don’t know what I’m referring to, check out this previous post on the film Funny Face). I never used to be a big fan of the colour, associating it with too much girlyness. But actually, I rather like it now, [...]
New in Store This Week: Green Summer Frocks
This week in Penny Dreadful Vintage I’ve been a green-eyed monster – not with envy but with a load of green vintage dresses! For the next three weeks I’m concentrating on making the most out this summer by stocking the shop with colourful sun dresses. This week is green, and we have pink, [...]
New in Store This Week: PRIDE
I wanted to do something a little bit different in the store this week. This year, London is hosting World Pride 2012. It is an extremely Big Deal, but you wouldn’t know it watching or reading the mainstream media; apparently a competition to see who can run fastest is more important than an event promoting [...]
New in Store This Week: Vintage Shoes!
A super quick post from me today, as I am going to a wedding tomorrow and have to catch the train in only half an hour! This week I have been concentrating on buffing up the vintage shoe presence in the store. I have to say I am rather pleased with the selection [...]
A Guest at Penny Dreadful Vintage
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you will have seen that we have a guest staying with us at the moment. Can you see her in the above picture? That is the sight that greeted me when I went to get something out of the stockroom earlier today. Goodness knows how she got up [...]
New in Store This Week: Vintage Nightwear
This afternoon I did something extremely silly. In the middle of my weekly shop update, surrounded by slippery satins and printed cottons and gauzy nylons, I began to feel very tired indeed. Instead of soldiering on, I treated myself to a teensy weensy siesta. Which lasted for THREE HOURS. I woke [...]
