Q: When did you begin Gypsy Rose Vintage and what first inspired you to do so?
A: Gypsy Rose Vintage was first established in the summer of 2012, inspired by a love of bohemian styling. We fuse retro influences with contemporary elements to create unique and exciting pieces perfect for a boho bride, summer festival or simply to dress up your day time look.
Q: How would you describe your brand in just 3 words?
A: Feminine, Flirty and Floral :)
Q: The new collection is beautiful and we have fallen head-over-heels in love with your floral and feminine hair accessories. What inspires your creativity and designs the most?
A: We are lucky enough to be based in a beautiful little rural town in the heart of the English countryside where a lot of our inspiration comes from. With a background in fashion design I am also heavily inspired by the catwalks which inspire our real statement head pieces.
Q: Please describe an average day in the life of Rebecca?
A: Most of my day is spent cooped up in my lovely little vintage themed office creating each headband by hand and planning for our next season's collection with a little help of my puppy Pomeranian "Peach".
Q: Last but not least, what do you hope to achieve with Gypsy Rose Vintage in the not-too-distant future; Are there any exciting, upcoming plans that you would like to share with us?
A: Over the next 12 months we are looking to expand bigger over the web and into an exclusive selection of UK bridal boutiques. We have some very exciting news that this week Gypsy Rose Vintage will be joining forces with London based foot wear brand "Irregular Choice" to photograph some of our new exciting products together! keep an eye on our social media for a preview of the new collection.
