Arthur took the helm of the S.S. Meow Meow this week and used his creative flare in dressing the window. Whatcha think? I think I’ve got some competition now!

For the past two weeks the window has been featuring mostly contemporary designers. This week we are taking it back to our old school vintage ways.
We often field the question; How old does an item have to be, to be considered vintage? The general consensus for clothing is anything 20+ years. To which our ego then kicks in and refuses to listen to this because if you’re like us you don’t want to think of yourself as, dare we say it, “vintage”. *Gasp* So for safety’s sake let us set the turning point to 1980, shall we? We can all sleep soundly now.
Oh, and we will let you know when we have located the fountain of youth.
