In the spotlight this month is The Old Flight House unit owner and vintage connoisseur, Lottie Johansson.
Lottie Johansson is a Freelance Editor & Editorial Consultant, who has worked as a Fashion Editor and Stylist on several leading magazines, such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Conde Nast Brides. She is passionate about vintage fashion, accessories and vanity products and writes regularly on all things vintage for www.harpersbazaar.co.uk
Lottie has amassed quite a collected of vintage treasures over the years and has sold at The Old Flight House for around eighteen months ‘Many of the pieces I sell are from the 50’s to the 80’s and I’ve also added several highly collectable fragrance bottles and compacts from my collection to my unit and cabinet.
‘I source many wow pieces on my travels to add to my existing collection and I’ve also framed several limited-edition posters from my time at Vogue in the 90’s, which are very popular. I love looking around the vintage emporium and seeing how all the unit-holders have displayed their finds. There’s always something fabulous that catches my eye. Here are my current Top Five buys.’
