This month's Hidden Treasure hails from Reading and is a definite favourite haunt of H's when she has a rare visit to Reading.
"Alexandra Vintage is a vintage network taking pride in its group of passionate vintage Buyers. A love for all-things vintage, Alexandra Vintage’s Buyers hand-pick pieces of vintage fashion from across the globe, offering affordable collections of quality vintage clothing & accessories for men and women."
Basically, Alexandra Vintage is a Studio in the Town Centre, where you can shop by appointment to have a browse around the rails. They also have a great Online shop which has just recently won the National Vintage Awards 2014, so it is definitely worth a visit.
The store also got a mention in Episode 2 of Dawn O'Porter's new Channel 4 show 'This old Thing', where she introduces the virtues of Vintage to people who are normally high street junkies.
There are clothes on offer, alongside buttons, jewellery, bags, scarves, pretty much anything your vintage self could want really. Alexandra can be found in store and handpicks everything that goes into her shop and so you know that it has been chosen. There are even wedding dresses on offer and Alexandra can help you find something for any kind of occasion.
In an office block just around the corner from the main high street, Alexandra Vintage is a gem of a find for all you Vintage lovers, and if you can't get there, remember there is her online shop to drool over too.
I have my eye on a nice blue paisley print dress, now what to wear it to!
