SHOP OUR IMPERFECT PIECES
We believe that vintage items with small imperfections shouldn’t end up in landfill if they are still beautiful and useful. That’s why we’ve created this collection of pieces that have minor flaws which we think deserve to be treasured. They are perfect for display, and none are noticeably damaged beyond repair, if that’s the route you’d like to take them down. Interior stylists, designers and commercial businesses often take these pieces off our hands to adorn homes, restaurants, magazine shoots and more. We’ve decided to open this collection up to all shoppers, in the hope that more of these items find homes. We have priced them fairly and more often than not grouped a few things together, but if there is a different combination of items you would like to purchase then please do get in touch.
