Why should you shop locally this Christmas?

Shopping from your small, local businesses means that not only are you supporting independent businesses to survive in a market that is swamped by big corporate chains, but it should also take out the stress of Christmas shopping for you, which can be no bad thing!

Here at Sew Very Vintage, every item has been personally selected or handmade by myself or my business partners, therefore we pride ourselves on having a wide range of unique quality presents.

Customer feedback on the diversity of our products continues to be extremely positive and as a shop that houses four businesses under one roof, at Sew Very Vintage you can always expect to find an eclectic mix of products, from vintage-style clothing, shoes and accessories to handmade gifts and craft supplies.

This year, we continue to have a varied selection of handmade goods, from embroidered hats and upcycled bags, to unique one off pieces of jewellery and homeware.

But alongside this you can also find well-known brands, thus giving you the opportunity to get your family favourites, but avoid the queues and crowds of shopping in the city.

We are proud to have been chosen as Cath Kidston stockist for Wallingford, and therefore you can pick up some perfect presents, from Cath Kidston pyjamas for both adults and children, to homeware pieces including the ever-popular Cath Kidston mugs.

When coming in to the shop we are always happy to help with gift ideas or styling advice on the perfect Christmas party outfit.

Our range of dresses, skirts, knitwear and winter coats can all be accessorised with our beautiful jewellery and hair accessories, to ensure you leave with a fabulous outfit (or two!, and we are always happy to order in items whenever possible, so if you see something you like that isn’t your size, please ask.

Again the beauty of shopping locally is that we will offer a personal service, where we are happy to source items and contact you by whatever means is most convenient to you.

We pride ourselves on offering customer service that leaves you wanting to come back.

So we warmly welcome you to visit Sew Very Vintage at 10 St Mary’s Street, Wallingford, try on an outfit or two or complete your Christmas shopping, we promise there will be plenty to tempt you with!
