The bedroom and loft of this Edwardian terrace house in South East London are stacked high with vintage suitcases, which are in turn crammed to bursting with vintage goodies from throughout the 20th century. Many of those cases haven't been opened in years, who know what wonderful delights are hiding inside.
Much of what is found hiding inside those many boxes of treasure is vintage clothing, accessories and home wares dating around the mid-20th century up to the 1980’s.
We have a large selection of vintage dresses, 1950’s and 1960’s lingerie, and numerous vintage coats. There are old hats, vintage handbags and lots and lots of vintage stockings. For the home we have a large collection of vintage china, numerous items of original kitchenware and a heap of vintage wallpaper. On a lucky day we find something really special, like rare lingerie dating back to the 1930’s or 1940’s ration book.
Not all these items are online yet, we're adding them piece by piece. For updates on what's new in, follow our Instagram stories.
The woman behind Rag & Magpie is Bella, graphic designer by day, vintage enthusiast around the clock. Her love of vintage fashion was borne from growing up in the same house as her great grandmother, who in turn was a seamstress from the 1940’s onward. She was surrounded by half-sewn swing dresses and vintage china on a daily basis, and so the obsession began.
“Coming from a family ofhoarders‘magpies’, I developed a fascination with old treasures and vintage style from a young age.”
