Being from a small town in the countryside, there's little diversity when it comes to fashion. Any variation of Wellington boots & Barbour jackets seems to be the done thing. Go back a few years, then a few years before that; I'm pretty sure that my parents' parents, and then their parents before, would be able to slip on an outfit from one of the few shops in town & comfortably fit into any decade without anyone batting an eyelid. Is this middle-earth? No. It's just the way it is. And, I'm pretty certain, how things will always be. The Cotswolds is a time-warp.
Imagine the excitement when a Jack Wills recently came to town? The only problem is that now you can't walk down high-street without seeing every other tween in a 'WILLS hoodie', accompanied by the standard Gillette & underwear protruding from the top of their jeans. Not that I'm complaining. Don't get me wrong, we could do a lot worse than the classic, colourful garments Jack Wills has brought to town. It's just that now everyone is wearing it, it's a little bit mundane...
Hoping to keep things a little different, we want to share our finds from eclectic vintage pieces to bits & bobs picked up on our travels. Spoilt by stumbling upon a 5-story shopping paradise in Hong Kong, little vintage boutiques that seemed so out-of-place in Thailand & bohemian heavens in Australian (amongst many more), we've been inspired to inspire. The Pig & Pony Club is somewhere to post fashion ideas, styling tips & encourage people to be different. After all, no one wants to be a clone. So share the knowledge... Share the love...
