In the broad field of design, the recognition of artistry, craftsmanship and quality is spurring the demand for collectable pieces. Be that mid-century furniture or modern lighting, as reported in the article, there’s a renewed appreciation of vintage design and an exciting surge of interest in both collecting and investing.
Fashion design sits at the fore of the sector in value terms and, as with furniture design, the art is diluted and somewhat desecrated by mass-market, ‘disposable’ offerings, generally at the detriment of creativity and, critically, the environment.
The desirability and value of designer vintage has escalated in recent years and is only expected to continue. We’re waking up to investing in our wardrobes, exploring our individual style and respecting the longevity that quality craftsmanship deserves. Even, perhaps, conserving some future heirlooms.
The Copia signature is high-quality, wearable pieces to complement a modern wardrobe #VoguishVintage. Clothes that will define a look and elevate an outfit. Refined, demure and true vintage glamour to more contemporary, standout, pure statement pieces. Be curious and search for looks and designers that resonate with you and customise your wardrobe with timeless and collectible pieces to be cherished and admired.
We often source from private clothing collections - fashions invariably sought-after and coveted in their era - and the original luxury price tags means some of our outfits were rarely worn and are pristine. Crucially, they are generally much more affordable than the modern equivalent #futurevintage.
The investment is not only in the rarity value but in the individuality that vintage designs allow us to express, whether that’s in what we wear or the way we furnish our homes. With the added legacy of #sustainability.
