On our travels around the West-end, in search of retro treasures, we came accross some great vintage shops.. Tucked away in Decourcy's arcade, we found a whole cluster of vintage and vintage-inspired boutiques, including one where you can have dresses made up on site from vintage patterns, and with vintage fabric! Take a look at these hand made to measure, 40's inspired outfits:
