Hello everyone! Last week I was invited to one of Brighton's newest boutiques,
Flock. With a little set up on Sydney Street in the North Laines, Flock specialise in vintage and handmade clothing, as well as featuring some stunning jewellery designs crafted by labels
Palomita and
Luna Noir.
After their launch party on the 6th of November - which I'm gutted I had to miss - Flock are already preparing for a busy Christmas period. I can't say I'm surprised, the shop is an ideal pitstop for gifts. The Jewellery in particular would make for some gorgeous stocking fillers. One of my favourite parts of Flock's itinerary had to be
Palomita's Jewellery - the designs are so colourful and completely different to anything you'd see in the typical high street stores.
Palomita has an
Etsy - definitely have a look!
In terms of clothing and fabrics, Flock offer up a range of the best local labels. Most Brightonians will probably be aware of
Hearts and Guns - their unique feminine yet edgy style is well known to Brighton's Laines. I was particularly drawn to their kimonos being sold in Flock - (readers of previous posts will know just how much I love a kimono...) - and, as with most of their designs, the patterns and details were beautifully intricate. Alongside
Hearts and Guns are
Pick Up Sticks and
The Emperor's Old Clothes, again, both local labels - the latter being so local, in fact, that the clothes are made in the boutique's basement.
Pick Up Sticks are more focused on textiles and haberdashery, but their variety of vintage fabrics made me wish I'd paid way more attention in my D.T sewing class...so if you have any knack with a needle, definitely visit their website.
Independent label
The Emperor's Old Clothes really sets Flock apart from other boutiques in the Laines. They offer hand tailored clothing and accessories that are created on sight with vintage and one-off fabrics. I.e. no single piece will be the same as another. Forget about the worry of leaving the house and seeing five other people wearing exactly the same outfit as you, because Flock can make you something that is completely unique and entirely yours. Click on the link above to see examples of their designs.
If you ever have a spare 10 minutes and find yourself in Brighton's North Laines, definitely pop into Flock. Whether it's just for a quick, casual browse or some serious gift hunting, I can promise you will not leave disappointed!
