If you’re not into vintage shoes, surely you must take a shining to at least ONE pair after seeing the selection they have at Absolute Vintage in Shoreditch, London. They literally have vintage shoes in every colour, heel height, finish, material you could possible want. Everytime I go there, I literally furrow my brows trying to pick a pair. Oh and they have comfy couches with stacks of magazines to read whilst you’re pondering on your shoe colour dilemmas.

I’m spending some time studying abroad in London soon, and you have NO IDEA how happy you just made me. . . thanks for the fabulous post! I will totally shop at (by which I mean live at) this place as soon as I can.
that place totally looks like heaven… wish i had known about it when i was spending more time in london…
That’s an amazing photo! One more reason I need to get back to London …
Wow, I have never seen anything quite like this! Thanks for sharing… 🙂
Oh oh! I see a pair of blue Ferragamos that I would love to have. (Or if they’re not, they’re really good knock-offs.) Ah…wish I were in London.
i got to go there when i went to london, it was AMAZING! but the shoes i wanted were slightly too big so i had to put them back. le sigh.
Oooh…I see those Ferragamos too! I LOVE Ferragamo bow pumps – I have an unhealthy obsession with them. I frequently spot Gucci, Diane Von Furstenberg vintage shoes here so I’m guess those are real.
SOS: I’m so sorry we didn’t get to meet up! Glad you found your way round though.
Fashionologie: Next time you’re in my part of the world… I will definitely take you around!
My heart aches just looking at the picture! I went to a couple of stores like that in Berlin and it was just too much – I couldn’t choose! I regret that badly now, but since me and my boyfriend have been talking a lot about going to London this summer I might just be able to make up for it.
oh my lord
thank you so much for posting that, i added the website to my favorites.
OMG!!! if only the vintage shops here were like this. its very hard to find nice vintage shoes. i see at least 5 pairs i like in that photo!!!
Oh my goodness, next time I’m in London I’m running there. How did I miss this when I lived a 10 minute walk away?!?
😯 Ohh that’s amazing. Thanks. Now I have one more sensible reason to go to London this summer. . .
