Apologies – we have been so busy behind the scenes in PASH that the stock of keys to our land are still sitting in their key cupboard! Without further ado, a key has been sent to Annie of Teagowns and Textiles - a true Icon of PASH.
Annie sources worldwide to fill her vintage fashion enclave in Leominster, Herefordshire with clothing, textiles, accessories and jewellery. The result is a passionistas playground full of several 1000 pieces of vintage treasure ranging from the Georgian era to 1960s particularly concentrating on silks, velvets, satins, chiffons and lames.
If you intend treating yourself to a visit, make sure you allow plenty of time for browsing.
We vintage lovers are forever thankful for Annie’s dedication to purveying vintage fashion delights.

Queeni-B Boutique is an online destination for lovers of vintage, retro & indie fashion and we are super-excited that they have chosen to join us for our first event.
They work closely with independent designers across Britain to showcase their vintage- inspired wares which range from 1950’s inspired rockabilly bags and dresses to 1940’s style hats and lingerie. Many of the designs are made from re-invented vintage garments and materials and most lines are lovingly made by hand.
Queeni-B also sells cherry-picked genuine vintage clothing & accessories.

If you fall in love with a certain item and need to know if there’s room to manouveur – help will be at hand.
We are delighted to announce that the Land of PASH will have expert alteration advice available on-site for our visitors.
With background training at London College of Fashion, Gloria Forrest chalked up 40yrs in the business as a Designer/Pattern Cutter for many well-known companies before working independently for an elite base of private clients. She also happens to be related to Kerry Lackey-Creator of the Land of PASH and is responsible for first sparking Kerry’s love of fashion and textiles.
We are sure Gloria will be kept pretty busy as her encyclopedic knowledge of fabrics and techniques are very useful for dating items too.

Carole Riggs’ tagline for her business, Gently Worn Vintage, is simply ‘Elegance Reclaimed’.
Carole has a reputation for handpicking elegant, quality pieces and is guided by glorious fabrics, great cuts and a ‘certain something which catches her eye’. Her particular passion is for dresses from 1930s through to the end of the 1950s but she also compliments these with lovely separates and great accessories.

This weekend, we have ceremoniously unlocked the cabinet that houses our coveted Land of PASH keys.
The first two worthy recipients are Kerry Taylor of Kerry Taylor auctions and Lena Weber, Editor of Queens of Vintage. Their services to individual, chic, cool and funky vintage style are unquestionable.
Although Kerry’s job has always sounded like a dream to me – travelling the globe to unearth vintage fashion treasures – I remain in awe of her incredible knowledge base and totally appreciative of her ability to continually showcase the most marvellous of pieces.
Lena and her team at Queens of Vintage have been providing my daily vintage fix for some time now. I particularly enjoy reading about the individual Queens and the insight into vintage shopping in key cities worldwide. Who among us can resist trying to fit a little vintage shopping into a weekend break?
Lena has already promised to grab her passport and head straight to our Land on the 7th. We hope Kerry is in the country and can cross our borders too.
