re:New – Shrimpton Couture

If you love vintage then you must worship at the alter of Shrimpton Couture. Curated with meticulous detail, Shrimpton Couture is a online vintage emporium that specializes in luxury vintage couture. They have also recently expanded to add lines from independent designers who rework & restore vintage!

Shrimpton Couture offers fantastic photo views plus copy like “I am a bit nutty over this piece. There are a lot of 70s Lanvin pieces floating around out there and not all of them are fabulous, but this one? Fantastic! The print is amazing and has been used to create interesting visual details at the hem and the cuffs of those fabulous bell sleeves.” The excitement is contagious! This 1970′s Lanvin Print Maxi Dress is $675 USD.

There is also a side of the site called Designers Who Reconstruct, where vintage garments and accessories have been reworked and/or re-conceptualized by a select group of designers. The pieces shown there have been created by hand and because of the individuality of the materials used, each is one of a kind. This Kara Asymmetrical Dress is truly a one of a kind dress, made exclusively for Shrimpton Couture – it was handmade from carefully selected vintage kimono fabric, and mixed with new, locally purchased fabrics. $275 USD.
