Catwalk Creative is an online vintage clothing boutique established in 2006.  Owner and creator, Louise Sleigh, runs her business in South Manchester.  Her customer base is international with sales in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and the UK.  The aim at Catwalk Creative is to promote the wearing and collecting of vintage by offering a small, but unique range of quality and affordable merchandise for the discerning collector of vintage.  If you prefer to purchase your vintage 'in person', please visit Catwalk's sister site, 'Vintage Bizarre' or read the mini-review below.

Louise is an active member of the Vintage Fashion Guild (VFG), an international organisation for vintage fashion professionals with members in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia.  In addition, Louise is editor of Catwalk Threads, a vintage fashion blog which showcases a wide range of vintage and recycled merchandise through interviews and reviews with some of the best online retailers around.


Vintage Bizarre: If you live in the North West of England, perhaps you’d like to visit in person?  Catwalk Creative has joined forces with friend and fellow vintage fashion professional, Faux Brit, to form Vintage Bizarre.  Together they combine their expertise and knowledge to offer a unique range of vintage merchandise including clothes, accessories, sewing and knitting patterns, linens and costume jewellery from the UK and USA.

Vintage Bizarre has a regular selling venue at Joe Petrillo, West Didsbury, on the first weekend of every month.  You can also visit Vintage Bizarre at Village Vintage, Broadstone Mill, Stockport on the second and last Sunday of the month.  Full details of events and locations can be found on the Events page at Vintage Bizarre.

Quality Promise: Catwalk Creative Vintage clothing is treated with the utmost care.  As soon as new items arrive, they are checked thoroughly for faults or issues inside and out.  Garments are then laundered (washed or dry-cleaned), air-dried, pressed and stored carefully.

Condition: The majority of our vintage clothing arrives in excellent and very good condition (read our condition guide here).  However, due to the nature of vintage, some wearing to the fabric has to be expected, even on garments which have been unworn and stored for years with tags still attached.  Minor issues like missing buttons, an unfinished hem or a loose seam will be fixed before listing.  Any other issues are clearly noted in the item description.

Community: It's important that Catwalk Creative develops a real community feel for the business.  Please stay in touch by joining us on Facebook page or follow on Twitter.
