Inspired Vintage

Welcome to BellaBean Vintage

Jenny's love of second-hand shopping started early. Walking home from primary school took her past a Cats Protection League opportunity shop. She visited most days and spent her small amounts of pocket money buying old buttons and trinkets. As a teenager – funded by an after-school cleaning job and later full-time work – she shopped in iconic vintage Christchurch institutions like the Atlantis Market and Shand’s Emporium. At 15 she bought a 1950’s white satin wedding dress from a vintage shop called Tete a Tete. She wore it till it was trashed.
