Matt ArtPix and Arcane Publishing had a great day at Old Spitalfields market on Saturday, our first one in this London location.
The logistics were suprisingly easy to work out: take A13, arrive. There was a handy car park round the corner, and our stalls were spacious, with loads of leg room and freedom of movement around the space. Old Spitalfields is a stimulating environment to trade in and we will be back on August 2nd for another So Vintage London event with a different layout for the stalls and slightly different stocks - it's important to always refresh and try new things out! We are already working on it! We hope to trade regularly at Old Spitalfields in the future, watch this space... Here are a few pictures of the day! 7/3/2014 Festival music!So it's only two days until So Vintage London at Old Spitalfields on Saturday 5th July (11am to 5pm). We're ready, all our stock and display items lined up in the flat... See our stock HERE, Matt ArtPix's blog about the market HERE. We will also have copies of I Am a Muse for sale at the special event price of £6 (its RRP is £7.99). We will bring something to fit the festival theme of the day: a French import 3 record-set of Woodstock Festival, 1970. Who wants it? It is in GOOD condition and plays well. And we will have flyers for the brilliant Village Green festival in Southend: 10 hours of art, music, vintage and literature for only £10! *Please note: the vinyls are not available to buy online. We only sell them at events!

We are very pleased to have been selected and we hope that this will become a regular spot for us... Maybe not every months, but several times in the year would be good! We have some more exciting events lined up for you for the rest of the year, but we need to confirm them first before announcing them. Watch this space! Below are a few new acquisitions from this weekend. I would like to concentrate on fashion, music and classic cinema icons and glamour for So Vintage, so I was really thrilled with some great finds! 80s fashion with some great illustrations! The book itself is not vintage, but it features reprints of some of most outrageous pages from Cosmo 1970s and 1980s! Super for fashion students and fashion history nuts! 100% perfect condition! And now for the gents... Really wonderful book, and 100% perfect condition! I have also acquired some cute books! Bod was apparently very well known... This is a first edition, 1966! This goes for £50 in ebay, by the way... What a find! This is just lovely... 1972 edition. And always popular on our stall...Peanuts! A lovely 1980 set of five!
