BellaBean Vintage

Jenny loved the eclectic mix of fabrics, patterns and colour, something not found in most chain stores. In vintage stores there is nothing guiding your choice except your own personal taste. She became addicted to the freedom of vintage shopping, and developed a knack for spotting good quality and so her extensive personal vintage collection began.

An opportunity to buy a large quantity of exceptional vintage led to the start of BellaBean Vintage in 2011. BellaBean stocks items from the 1930s to the 1990s with a little high end modern designer thrown in. Jenny is passionate about sharing her love of vintage fashion with the world and began curating vintage runway shows from her extensive collection.  She also supplies vintage gear for album covers, photo shoots and TV series and films to the local film industry and musicians.

Set in the beautifully restored Great Hall at The Arts Centre, A Colourful Past was an unforgettable evening of fashion and flair. BellaBean Vintage and Tiger Vintage showcased a colourful homage, celebrating the love affair that is vintage and sustainable clothing. The collections represented a mix of old and new, reminding us of the beautiful freedom that has always been found in dressing with individual flair. The modern interpretation of time honoured pieces were not only works of art, but most importantly, showed that style does not have to cost the earth.
