Brick Lane is awash with vintage shops and dealers. Most are trading the same sort of stock, but if you step off the main drag and down a side street, you might be lucky enough to stumble upon The Vintage Emporium, a new coffee house and vintage shop like no other.
The thrill of finding a bargain can easily become an addiction. There’s something awesome about feeling like you cheated the system, or that somehow you got lucky in amongst a mess of very expensive junk. Of course flea markets are a go-to for all things unusual, beautiful and vintage, but sometimes it’s hard to find a decent item under 20 bucks.
