Re-Wired Jewellery at Bleecker Street Vintage

At Bleecker Street Vintage, we are lucky to have the jewellery label, Re-Wired exclusive to our store.

Re-wired specialise in resin jewellery, but with a twist. Using old circuit boards and pieces of old technology they create beautiful necklaces, bangles, brooches & belts.

Re-wired have recently launched their 'steampunk' range which is available at Bleecker Street Vintage & will be on our online store very soon.

Recycle & Reuse. How much would you pay?

At Bleecker Street Vintage we're all about recycling, reuse & re-fashioning. We sell not only special vintage pieces, but re-worked vintage too.  

Em, who is a fellow student at pattern-making school, made this dress out of men's denim jeans for her final year project. It looks amazing and has taken hours to make. It's also something that could sell well in a shop.

Sadly, it will be to expensive to sell as Topshop, Zara and H&M has given the public a perception that style is cheap.

Therefor, given it takes a long time to produce a dress that is made locally. How much would YOU be prepared to pay for one?

Opening Party @ Bleecker Street Vintage SO:ME Space

Today was the first real day of Bleecker Street Vintage trading at SO:ME Space 
South Melbourne, so we had a little opening party.

Cakes from Sugardough were purchased and fairy bread was made! 

Friends dropped by to visit & celebrate, along with our lovely customers.

Lots of guys were looking for men's vintage, which is something we'll be doing very soon. Like us on Facebook to hear about that & other news

Shop fit out: Part Two

Things are slowly coming together. The change-room & moveable shelving unit is nearly complete. Both have been painted Japan black. I spent five years in Japan and saw many areas in the Japanese countryside with houses that had used Japan black. They were stunning.

The clothing rails are not up yet as there are 'issues' with them. Bleecker Street Vintage will still open on Friday, but we'll be using portable racks until the 'issues' with the other racks are resolved.

Shop fit out photos

Here is the before shot. Not much to see. Just space, wood & tools.

I love my shelves! In the past, I used this industrial ladder shelving unit for vintage fairs & pop-up shops, but now it will be used in our permanent store at SO:ME Space South Melbourne. If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these units, then contact us at Bleecker Street Vintage and we will try to source one for you. However they are hard to find.

This will be another shelving unit and our point of sale area. I'm looking forward to making a great visual display with it this Friday!
