Victory Vintage (CLOSED)

This roomy and artfully arranged store in West London’s Whiteleys shopping centre fashions itself as a boutique appealing to the same shoppers that might browse the centre’s designer and high street labels. Apparel is of exceptional quality, men and women being equally well catered for. Choice retro garb including carefully selected dresses, shoes and jewellery join furs (mink and fox in particular) as well as gent’s suits, formal wear and dapper accessories selected by Jake Hammond, a clothes trader with years of vintage experience. Founders Zoe Plummer and her sister Rebecca do a great job of keeping the stock fresh and though items here may be pricier than more jumble-like shops in the East End, you’re paying for real vintage know-how and hand-picked pieces.
