Meet The Traders meet the traders As the weather grows cooler, we thought we’d head up north to pay our Scottish pals a visit! Here are the best of the traders from our recent Edinburgh event. “Miss Dixie Belle is a vintage-inspired boutique and beauty parlour, specialising in looks from the 20’s to the 60’s. It was opened in 2010 and it was the first of its kind in Scotland. The Scottish Vintage scene has everything you need on your door step and is still thriving. Between Glasgow and Edinburgh we’re lucky enough to boast a host of young creatives who continue to develop new businesses and projects to keep the scene alive. It’s always fun to have Judy’s here as it is a mecca for all things vintage. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday or Sunday than searching for one off pieces and retro home wares followed by a bit of pampering at MDB’s pop up parlour!” Emma Dixon, Miss Dixie Belle We sell a mixture of ladies and gents vintage clothing, mainly from the 50s onwards, accessories and a small select of homewards and trinkets. After 6 grueling months of trying to find a job in London my mum and I developed a successful vintage pop-up shop. When she suggested we do it together, full-time I was immediately on-board, as I saw a gap in Edinburgh’s market, particularly for this sort of thing. The best shops are in Glasgow and Edinburgh I believe where established vintage shops are really popular with younger people, such as students, who are specifically developing a *neo*-vintage style of their own. Judy’s events are fantastic! They are always a huge success and a great way to bring lots of vintage together in one big room for vintage lovers, who specifically seek out these sorts of events.
