'I started selling my clothes on Depop, now I own my own vintage shop in Manchester'
As I pushed open the door to Manchester city centre’s newest vintage shop, I was greeted by the dulcet tones of Fleetwood Mac and that familiar smell of pre-loved clothing and independently made candles.
Fern, an actress originally from Hampshire, started selling on the second-hand app around five years ago when her personal vintage collection had grown a little too large. And, off the back of its success, she began to source retro and vintage finds to flip for a profit on the selling site. Brought up on a musical diet of Fleetwood Mac and glam rock, Fern loves all things 70s, drawing inspiration from music videos and the trends from that era.
“It feels quite lonely when you're just doing it for yourself and you're not seeing who's buying it. I think online it's harder to judge who's buying your stuff so it's been really fun to meet people and see what they fall in love with. At Stare Society, Fern stocks a lot of Italian leather, Western styles and cowboy boots, as well as handpicked, curated finds she’s picked up during her travels. Her granddad even gave her one of his original 70s jackets to sell in the shop.“I'm desperately looking for a 70s TV - that's my next find, but haven't found anyone with one yet.
