Miss Eliza Vintage: A Vintage Fashionista’s Dream

Upon entering Eliza’s, you find something reminiscent of your glamorous grand auntie’s massive walk-in closet, filled with fashion hits and misses. Although Eliza might also be a hoarder and on her way towards a televised intervention, she certainly has a treasure trove of fashions that traverses the decades.

There are few places that we’ve seen that have the same amount of quality foreign sourced garments and accessories. You won’t find obscure old knock-offs or cleaned up rags from a Tianjin warehouse, but you will encounter classic designs from Versace and Valentina, vintage wool skirts, and more silk blouses than owned by Janice in accounting. Eliza acquires most of her items from Japan or through buyers who scour the planet and return to China with their precious findings.

There’s an impressive horde of gaudy 80s designer Italian purses that would probably make a fashionista from any country screech with glee. One Versace purse on display was simply stunning, made with red leather and covered in gold pendants and chains. If you are one of those ladies with a soft spot for headgear, check out her handcrafted fascinators (RMB 350), or accessorize with their massive collection of costume jewelry.

We were impressed by the focus of her shop, and we’re sure that like-minded customers interested in boutique vintage will come running and throw down massive amounts of cash to get their stylish hands on some of this beautiful gear.
