Vintage Pretoria

– By Letlhogonolo Ndhlovu

Fancy old school clothing but don’t exactly know where the best thrift stores are located in the Capital?

Over the years, there has been a growing fascination of the old and we know that retro will never fade out.

In the 1920’s, when women began rocking these classic garments we now call vintage, it was more a liberating act, food for thought.
