After visiting Southampton on the 18th of January, this is the second Lou Lou’s vintage fair to be held this year in the UK.
Sharing about the fair this year, Alexis Butt – the manager of the Lou Lou’s fair in Bournemouth said: “A new thing for this year comes from our hope to create a comprehensive vintage experience with more than retro clothes and jewellery. Collectables and home wares brought from far and wide, music, tea parties or beauty salon help complete the whole vintage experience for our customers.”
“It kind of varies fair to fair, however on average we have six to seven hundred people come, and sometimes it can be as many as a thousand in big cities.”, the manager said.
“I love vintage. I think vintage clothes have stories.”
