Northern Ireland’s favourite vintage shopping event, the fabulous Frock Around The Clock Vintage & Handmade Fair will be returning to Belfast next month when it visits Malone House on Sunday 3rd August for another extravaganza of exclusive style and glamour for the wardrobe and home.
The event will showcase 45 handpicked, high quality vintage dealers and creative designers specialising in vintage, handmade and upcycled fashion, jewellery, furniture, homewares, collectibles, art, craft and gifts, scrumptious sweet treats, photography and much more. Now approaching its 7th year of delighting customers from all over Ireland, Frock Around The Clock still remains dedicated to sourcing the best in vintage dealers and fresh creative talent, so in addition to many of the old favourites there will also be a number of fresh faces to be seen at the 3rd August event, providing a spectacular variety of unique, quality and interesting things to see and buy. Whether you are in search of a stunning frock, authentic vintage treasures, beautifully handcrafted designs, or delicious edible goodies, this event has it all!
Creative Director Becky Moore says ‘We are currently glued to the weekly Channel 4 show ‘This Old Thing’ where Dawn O’Porter proves to people addicted to the high street that vintage really is the key to true individual style – the same message that we have been spreading for the last 6 years and which has been bringing the stylish ladies of Ireland back to our fairs time and time again! Vintage clothes are timeless and unique; mix them in with your contemporary pieces and you will stand out for all the right reasons. Our visitors have a unique and individual sense of style and the degree of originality seen in how they put an outfit together is an indication of just how seamlessly vintage has merged with mainstream fashion in Northern Ireland. The Sugahfix.com Style Spotter is always in attendance to capture shoppers on camera so our customers regularly appear on the pages of Northern Ireland’s leading online fashion guide!’
