It's Vintage Darling is the Southside's latest (and arguably, much needed) contribution to boutique retro retail. A stone's throw away from Annerley's main op-shop drag, It's Vintage Darling is both a foolproof recipe for anyone new to the vintage game and a sophisticated alternative for veteran shoppers. An even spread of psychedelic maxi dresses, office-style blazers, chiffon skirts, bohemian crochet, summer frocks and disco attire ensures something for every taste, with each garment accompanied by a handwritten swingtag detailing its era of manufacture and modern-day size.
When it all gets to be too much, sink into one of the comfiest couches this side of the river, flip through a 1970s edition of Women's Weekly, and enjoy an organic coffee or two, freshly brewed in the store's kitchenette.
Gone are the days of gaping holes and suspect stains, sore feet and parched palates - this is vintage new school.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
