New Vintage Clothing Company – Moving Forward By Looking Back!

The New Vintage Clothing Company has opened their first store in the region as they move from clicks to bricks.

Managing Director James Ash from Beverley is hoping that more stores will follow in the future and has not ruled out opening a store in his home town.

The shop has been opened to give the company a retail outlet, they have been wholesaling for over 12 months and see this as an opportunity to increase their own margins on sales while still giving their customers great value.

Their brands Rabbit Jelly (Vintage Inspired), Rabbit Works (re-worked vintage) and Rare Rags (original vintage) will all be available along with others including large national brands such as Monkee Genes.

Jonathan Elvidge who is a Director of The New Vintage Clothing Company brings a wealth of retail experience to the table. Jonathan Managing Director of Red 5 and founder of the Gadget Shop has a huge presence on the high street.

Beverley’s Alex Arksey and Tim Knowles were on hand to provide cocktails for the launch and did a sterling job.

James said;

“I am so proud of everyone who helped make this possible, it is truly a great team effort.”

He added;

“The store has been a long time coming. We can now develop our retail concept and open in other cities around the UK.”

The shop can be found in the centre of Hull at Princess Quay which is now under the manager of Shopping Centre of Year manager Tony Wilkes.

James said;

“Princess Quay is on the up, we did look at other locations but decided to trade along side some of the UK leading brand like, Pizza Express, Game, Top Shop, New Look and Foot Locker to name a few.”

The shop is open seven days a week with plans to add late night shopping.
