Our story
Welcome to the eclectic vintage boutique of Amermani’s attic ……'A moongazing seeker of celestial vintage grooves and one-of-a-kind treasures'. My name is Raquel, and I am the proud, one- women owner of this unique vintage treasure trove. I lovingly source and curate vintage and antique fashion collections, accessories and collectibles, choosing quality over quantity. Amermani’s attic is forged from a lifelong love affair with vintage and sustainability choosing a slower fashion ethos that promotes walking gently on the earth but does not compromise fashion choices. Amermani’s attic is all about celebrating individuality and inclusivity. Mother earth loving vibes smashing through an over saturated fast-fashion world one piece of vintage at a time! There is always something magical when you source that individual piece that holds a thousand stories from a pre-loved life. True vintage and antique pieces that sing to the soul!
Stars aligned……
My past life I studied a degree in fashion design then moving and grooving onto showcasing at London fashion week, a hand-made collection of eco clothing (radiance doesn’t come in a jar!) that focused on eco fabrics and my own hand-made organic wool felted clothing pieces. My journey continued weaving a colourful, vibrant, and exciting path where I worked as a fashion designer and stylist. Vintage has and continues to be a way of life and part of my personal ethos…. not new to me… a reconnection! When I created Amermani’s attic in 2019 it was initially about me down-sizing some of my personal collections of many beautiful vintage, radical 60’s & 70’s psychedelic pieces and antique clothing that I have collected over the years……I rocked up at my first vintage fair! Amermani's attic continues to rock vintage fairs up and down the land.. vintage road trip vibes! .You could say it was a little hobby that has organically formed over time…… a free-spirited love affair! Amermani’s attic is about evoking free thinking fashion choices. I source all my unique pieces from across the land and always from the heart…I Love colourful bold prints, psychedelic grooves, handmade elements, and a quintessential quirky uniqueness. I love the shape, forms and styles that different eras capture. I love the unique stories of each piece. I love, love, love vintage velvet, crochet, antique lace and handmade elements, a strong desire to recycle, reuse, repair, remake and revamp over a throw away and over produced ethos of fast fashion. Amermani’s attic is all about a continuation of my love, passion and commitment to slow fashion and sustainable fashion choices whilst offering affordable true vintage that is inclusive and accessible for all.
