firsts & a giveaway.

pattern from this 60's diamond print dress


A couple of firsts this month!

June 17th was the first anniversary  of Five Stones Vintage at the new Etsy URL, with 506 sales & counting.
To celebrate, all dresses are at 15% off for the month of June! 

I still remember the very first item I sold on eBay, back in June/July 2005 (unfortunately, there isn't a photo of it any longer). A lilac suede waist belt with a gold buckle that went to a local buyer, who wanted to purchase it right away at three times the starting price!

This month, we're also offering our very first paper dress in the shop! More on paper dresses later, but you can check it out here in all its kitschy neon goodness.

So it's been a wonderful 7 years of vintage goodness and I'd like to thank all my lovely customers from Singapore & around the world! This would not have been possible without your support. And to thank you, I'm happy to announce that this first blog post will be a giveaway for $50(USD) shopping credit at Five Stones Vintage! This can be used towards any purchase in the shop & you can check out more than 300 amazing one of a kind vintage pieces here.

Bonne chance!
