Before the summer holidays started, I had this special party in a castle. There are quite a few interesting castles in the Netherlands but that is another blogpost…
My husband bought me a nice dress from Dita von Teese a burlesque dancer and model. It has a retro look and it is awesome. But as the party was a little bit classy I needed a clutch. I did not have one. Buying a new one on a short term (1 day left) was not an option, the only place where I could look for it was in Delft 🙂
I did not want to spend a lot of money on a bag for only one evening, so I got the idea to have a look at a few vintage shops in Delft. There are a lot of them and every now and then I like to look around and see if there is something useful for me or for my kids (my husband does not like second had stuff).
This time I started at : ‘Het goede doelen winkeltje’, a charity shop with all kinds of used clothes and goods. I found a clutch there, a really nice one, but it did not match with my dress. However, I bought it, you never know when you need it… Then I tried the ‘Charity shop’ at the Burgwal. There was nothing for me.
I had a quick look at the bags outside in the bowl of Elizes Kledingvondsten, and my last chance was at the second hand shop in the Vlamingstraat. I actually do not know if this shop has a name, but that does not matter, I found my clutch there. For only 2 Euro’s I had a nice bag which matched my dress and I had a great evening out with my husband Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
The best kept secrects of Delft are these vintage shops, there are more of them in Delft than the ones I mention in this story. Explore them, I always find something nice for my kids or myself for only a little bit of money. Tip: visit them regularly, the goods they sell change and you never know when it is your lucky day!
