Auckland
New Bohemian. A quiet introduction to some striking personalities.
Vintage stores are rarely serene. All that history hanging there: feelings of abandonment, reminiscing, aspiration, longing for a chance at a new life: those preexisting residents have a lot to say. And they’re all saying it at once. It’s much more relaxing to be introduced one at a time, over a cup of tea, at New Bohemian. On this quaint site Nicole Ebbett groups her ‘pretties’ for ease of selection: “Party Evening Girl”, “Disco Girl”, or simply “Frocks”. Their personalities shine through with Nicole’s names and descriptions; she will even point out any flaws! If you’re not after dresses, all your other options are here too: accessories, men’s vintage shirts, homewares. The pricing is reasonable and shipping is free within New Zealand. And it’s quiet, very quiet. Take your time.
