Oundle’s new vintage shop Lilly’s opened at the beginning of July. Naomi and Lee Dixon, who have run Skin Graffi ti in Corby for the past 25 years, took their love all things retro/ vintage one step further to offer something different to their local community. With great contact within the vintage world, they have stocked their vintage upcycling shop with clothing, footwear, body jewellery, tattoo facility and alternative style for young and old.
You will fi nd a wide range of brands such as Levi’s, Dickies, Carhartt alongside Dr. Martens, Converse and Vans, as well as retro sweet section. Lilly’s is happy to take clothing and shoes of good quality in exchange for £5 voucher for the shop to encourage recycling of vintage items. Within Lilly’s you will also fi nd The Tailor Shop, fi rst set up in Oundle in 2014 by Les and Gerry Starks.
