TheBlackCatVBoutique

The BlackCat Boutique is based in the Wild West of Cornwall, and is owned and run by Nina. Born from a love of old fashioned styles and music, she sells Vintage and Antique textiles of quality, objects of desire and clothes that tell stories. Everything stocked is handpicked with an eye for the unusual, collectable and wearable.
Nina’s interest in Vintage began as a teenager growing up in the 80s and 90s, where she enjoyed trawling Jumble Sales for old clothes that offered freedom from the monotony of the High Street. A longstanding passion for collecting beautiful, wearable treasure began, fuelled by an appreciation for quality in dressmaking techniques that seems mostly to be lost to the ordinary modern-day shopper, and always by a strong sense of nostalgia – there is magic in the clothes that tell stories of lives lived and times gone...
A strong hoarding instinct inevitable led to opening the shop in 2008, which formed part of Falmouth’s vibrant, fast growing enclave of independent traders up the Old High Street, until the arrival of her daughter persuaded her to abandon bricks and mortar in favour of the flexibility of trading online. Pieces from The BlackCat Boutique have found their way into the wardrobes of private customers across the globe, have been collected for reference by contemporary designers, and have been used in Film, Television and Theatre, including the Channel 4 programme on Vintage Fashion, 'This Old Thing'.
