About
Actively searching for vintage gems is our way of life! We endeavour to find alternative, individual items with fashion trends in mind. Jolly Brown is always looking for items which take our wonderful customers out of the high street shops and into their own style.
At Jolly Brown our customers are always our priority and making you feel comfortable and gorgeous is our aim! We offer a personal shopping experience, where you can pop in or call us for style advice and using our 'search & retrieve' service you can be united with the vintage item of your dreams!
Jolly Brown has worked with Singers, stylists, fashion shows and actors, finding specialised, year specific outfits or items as part of our personal shopping experience. We will endeavour to assist you with any 'particulars' you may have!!
Wearing vintage is not only a style choice but a life choice, at Jolly Brown we feel that re-cycling clothing and accessories is essential, not only to look good but to make a change to ever growing 'throw-away' clothing industry that threatens not only the economy but the environment.
Brown’s Inspirations
I come from a large family, so second hand clothes have been part of my life since I can remember! I am passionate about fashion and clothes and especially vintage fashion. In my teens I used to collect vintage band tee shirts and customise them to make them my own, I have carried this on into the world of Jolly Brown, making head wear and customising items for our customers.
I have always loved Mary Quant, Ossie Clarke, Chanel and Vivienne Westwood’s classics. I think my passion comes from my mother’s love of individual designs and my father’s classic dress sense. There is a lot to be said for wearing a classic base outfit and putting a focus piece with it, to really make an outfit your own.
These days it’s so easy to get hold of catwalk copies and to stay ahead of fashion is not just for actors and models, it’s in the hand of everyone who is interested. I believe that fashion and design should be for one and all and not reserved for the rich or the famous! I apply my love and passion for vintage and fashion to Jolly Brown and my own wardrobe. Big Up Vintage!
