In Greenwich market, there is a vintage store- incredibly, I've forgotten the name of this place, but there is only one. You'll find it if you look.
The store was nice enough- a mix of eras, some of it a bit tatty, but also some fun pieces. I flipped through the racks for a couple of minutes, nothing really catching my eye. Until I found this skirt (and a simple day dress- will post a pic of it at some stage).
You know those stories of people that find, like, vintage Versace in a car boot sale or Chanel in Oxfam, or something equally ridiculous? This is my story.
This skirt is vintage Dries Van Noten. It is in perfect condition- not a stitch out of place.
The dilemma then? I think it was about £20. It would have cost upward of £500 to buy new and I could easily sell it for at least £300 on ebay. The shop lady clearly didn't know what she was selling. I thought about telling her for all of half a second before throwing my money at her and running out the door.
I adore this skirt- this is me doing a celebratory jig.

Would you have said anything?
Thought not.
