Vintage Bongo.

Vintage, second hand, used.........call it what you want, but other people's cast offs may just be what you've been looking for!
Our lovely friend Bongo bought a white faux fur jacket this winter and boy doesn't she just look loverrrrrly!
We caught her in Maison Bertaux in Soho having a cake. As one of our most stylish friends, Bongo is keen on vintage. However she's always very careful not to be too second hand looking. Get the drift?
Matching vintage with your own wardrobe is key. Wearing everything second hand from top to toe can sometimes look rather................erm...............well dowdy, gimmicky and washed out.
The obvious vantage of vintage is that you're not going to find many around you wearing the same thing, it's that perfect find that possibly no one else has. London's high streets are just full of the same brands-GAP, Topshop, Lee, American Apparel at one end and Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton at the other. It's easy to be caught wearing something others on the same street are wearing!
Mix used with new, high end with low end for your own unique look!
Juicy Owls are fans of shops like Mint, Rokit and Beyond Retro.
