Hey Afaconados!
It’s Feature Friday! These articles are starting to become my favorites because I get to share some of the great shopping experiences I’ve had during my travels or while combing the internet in search of things that are “different” than what’s normal. Those who know me, know that I am a huge fan of vintage clothing. During my time in London I stumbled upon a fantastic vintage store called Rokit that I absolutely fell in love with. If you’re as in love with vintage clothing as I am, you’ll easily find that Rokit is a veritable vintage clothing playground. After starting out with only a market stall in Camden in 1986, Rokit has grown over the years and now has four London stores in Camden, Brick Lane and Covent Garden. Here’s a picture of me in London’s Chinatown with my Rokit bag in hand:
The Rokit store is huge and they have an endless selection of clothing, accessories, hats, shoes…just about anything you can think of. It’s excellent quality vintage and they even carry big designer names like Lanvin, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. As with all of the stores I shopped at during my visit there, I checked immediately to see if this store offered shipping to the United States….and they do! If you visit their website at http://www.rokit.co.uk, be sure to look at the top right corner of the screen to change the currency. As always, I’ve taken the liberty of selecting some of my favorite items from their website. Check it out:
- Cream & Yellow Spot Print Dress – $54
Rokit Recycled Green Embellished Turban - $23
Yellow Circle Print Dress - $62
Lanvin Black Leather Wedges - $540
Black & Purple Playsuit w/Colorful Leaves - $70
Taupe Beige Snakeskin Bag - $54
Gucci Cream & Gray Snakeskin Shoes - $270
Trust me, you won’t be disappointed, Rokit is definitely worth checking out! Until next time!
