I met Tongie and Peter for the first time around one year ago: for them, I was just one of their customers passing by the stand every Sunday morning, for me, they will become my only and favourite shirts suppliers for a long long time.
So that's how this love story started, until it became a collaboration. Yes, two weeks ago I approached my new friends with an idea, their reaction was so unexpected for me!
But let's take a step back... I'm a great fan of Brick Lane area, especially the Brick Lane Market on Sundays: full of lovely merchants and entrepreneurs, artists and independent stylists, food from every corner of the Earth. It's people's happy place, it's my happy place, from where I get most of my inspiration (and where I find unique pieces for my wardrobe).
Tongie and Peter's shirts stand is few steps from the start of the road. So, they sell these amazing vintage shirts: Tongie, a Thailandese woman with a great fashion taste, chooses prints and style herself, they are recycled fabrics from Japan. And obviously, every shirt is unique, no one else will have the same. Peter is a lovely English man, always ready for a good chat and laughs even when he's quite busy.
That's why I really want people to know them, and to make this happen we decided for this partnership for my readers' benefit. What does it involve? Very simple rules:
1. Follow @pasttimeschic on Instagram
2. Comment this post either on my blog or on my Instagram page (@lablanchenoire)
3. Go to visit my friends at their Brick Lane stand, or if it's too far for you, you can find them also at Notting Hill Market on Friday (pitch nr. 148a, under the bridge, near Green Market) and Saturday (pitch nr. 170, vintage end); they also ship to UK and Worlwide.
Tell them that I sent you, and you'll have the opportunity to shop an entire outfit (a shirt+culottes) for only £25.
4. Thank me later :)
