About Us

Welcome to sixtysix77!

I've been collecting vintage clothing, accessories, furniture and homewares, particularly from the 1960s and 1970s, for years. I enjoy nothing more than browsing the endless aisles of a vintage market or fair on a warm sunny day, with my shopping cart in tow. Maybe it's at the Alameda Antiques Fair in Oakland, the Portobello Road Market in London, a pop-up event in Barcelona, or a Sunday market in Paris...wherever it is, oh what treasures will be found! 

I'm not a fashionista; I'm actually an interior designer and my excursions to these markets & fairs were to source unique and sustainable furniture from decades past (generally mid-century). I fell in love with vintage fashion in the process and now I'm as dazzled by a 1970s disco dress as I am by an Eames lounge chair. But since you can only buy so much for yourself, I was inspired to start sixtysix77 to continue sourcing fabulous vintage fashion and share the curated collection with other vintage lovers.

What is vintage? 

Vintage to me means items (whether fashion, furniture, cars, etc.) from a bygone era. They are not simply second-hand or pre-owned, but they hold a historical significance of the cultural, political and geographical circumstances from which they came. I have chosen to focus mainly on 60s and 70s fashion as I find it the coolest and most aesthetically pleasing. But surely it goes beyond just fashion; our love of an era has as much to do with the music, art, design, and cinema as it does with the clothing itself. You'll probably catch me listening to 1960s French Ye-Ye tunes more than you'll find me actually wearing that 60s minidress!

What is vintage inspired?

You'll notice there are some items in the shop that are labeled "vintage-inspired". Some of these are brand new, unworn items that are designed in 1960s/70s style. Others may be pre-owned items that are in that same retro aesthetic, but not quite as old as our vintage items (most likely dating from the 2000s onwards). These items are sourced to offer more variety and/or sizes, and sometimes I come across something that is just too darn cute not to feature. It will be noted in an item's description whether it is vintage or vintage inspired.

Thanks for visiting and happy shopping!
