Paddington Antique Centre, Brisbane

I visited the Paddington Antique Centre in Brisbane recently. Although I loved the old building and its vibe, the vintage clothes which I was more interested in left me rather underwhelmed. I was not inspired to try on any items. The fact that I pulled out a dress by Miss Shop was enough to make me vomit and walk right out of there. Sorry but Miss Shop does not qualify as vintage. As do any modern day brands. Come on people, vintage is not just any smelly old second hand item. They have to be at least 20 years and more to qualify as vintage and that's already being very generous. I'll be checking out the Sydney Antique Centre at South Dowling Street in Sydney soon. Come on, Sydney, we can do better, I'm sure. With some of my favourite vintage sellers peddling their wares there, I already know we'll show Brisbane up... heh heh heh. Until then, check out some of the antique offered at Paddington Antique Centre.
