Tramp in Brighton SOURCE at www.brightonsource.co.uk Brighton’s best listings, music and culture magazine

Fashion always looks to its past for inspiration, but since July 2010 Tramp Vintage Boutique have almost been working the other way round – eyeing the catwalks for current trends and finding the original equivalent pieces, unadulterated by the 21st century. It’s not designer-led, rather what fits for the current season with an emphasis on colour, style, shape, fit and material.

With a vintage range running from the 20s to the 80s, Tramp sources its stock from fairs and auctions nationwide, as well as an increasing walk-in trade. The boutique’s customer base of students, young mums and holidaymakers can get high-end ladieswear at sensible prices, with dresses from £25 and costume jewellery pieces from £10.

Big at the moment is everything 70s, but there’s a gingham’n’straw revival just around the corner, so it’s a good time to Tramp down to Trafalgar Street.
