Julia's Dressing

Vintage-lovers will think they've hit the jackpot with this shop, which feels like being in someone’s walk-in wardrobe. The baby of vintage expert Julia Peynes, this store rivals any in London, New York or Paris. Exquisite pieces made to look modern hang in the cosy space in low lighting. An Ossie Clark long black evening dress nestles alongside a Chanel Couture pink coat from the '60s. The basement beneath the store is overflowing with precious items – a collection of 1930s dresses hang alongside a selection of YSL, Lanvin, Courrèges, Pucci and Valentino Couture. Stylists and bloggers flock here from all over the world to browse this carefully considered collection in a low-key atmosphere with prices that are competitive.
