THE trend for all things vintage has arrived at the St Clare Hospice shop in Harlow with the launch of a new department dedicated to retro clothes and accessories.

Shoppers have been snapping up pre-loved bargains from every era, from the 1960s through to the 1990s, following the introduction of our retro range, which also includes homewares.

St Clare retail sales manager Fiona Eaton said: “We know that there is a huge demand for authentic vintage clothing and accessories and we wanted to tap into that trend.

“Our new vintage and retro section is already proving a hit with our customers who are looking for a unique second-hand steal that they wouldn’t ordinarily be able to find in high street shops.

“We get a lot of really interesting and quirky pieces donated to our shops so there is always something unusual to be found on the rails by those looking for individual and one-off additions to their wardrobe.”
