Catherine, Princess of Wales, packed two vintage items earlier this year on the royal tour - both of which came from Willow Hilson Vintage.
. That all changed in March. On the couple's tour of the Caribbean, Catherine packed not one but two vintage items - a coral, turquoise and yellow striped sundress from the '50s and a beaded bag from the '60s - both of which came from'It was such a wonderful thing for the sustainable fashion industry. I think everyone in my trade was really excited about it,' says Willow Hilson.
Even though she deals in historic pieces with a story to tell, she still looks for wearability. 'I try and buy things that feel quite modern, even though they're old, so that they become a part of your everyday wardrobe,' she adds. 'It doesn't look dated. It looks individual.'Individuality was something she inherited from her mother, who worked in the textiles industry.
Aside from the obvious sustainable angle, wearing vintage is a way to look a little bit different, to stand out for the right reasons. 'I think it’s great for individuality. The youth of today is doing such a good job of being so individual. Sustainable fashion really helps with that.'
