I am no different. My obsession is Vintage clothes. So you can imagine the sense of euphoria that I felt when I stumbled across an awesome group of vintage clothiers on the social networking site twitter. One such clothier happened to become a follower of mine. Posting under the name @ShrimptonCoutur, this clothier introduced me to a different vintage world.

Proving that she’s not stuck on what classifies as vintage, you can occasionally see a “collectible” (a piece that’s classic and timeless) piece from recent years.
