VIRTUAL VINTAGE fair Sunday 19th April, 2pm-4pm
Thank you everyone who visited the So Last Century Virtual Vintage Fair on Easter Monday. We had over 40 vintage dealers take part displaying 120 items on their Stories, again achieving around 50,000 total views!
If you daydream of being able to hunt around vintage markets this weekend, then why not join us on Sunday afternoon, from the comfort of your own home!
It’s easy to visit - just tune in to our Instagram Stories at 2pm.
Who will be featured?
You’ll see vintage items from many of your favourite So Last Century dealers, and some new ones as well.
What can I expect to find?
Original 60s posters, prints, antique maps and etchings, mid-century decor, lighting, furniture, homeware, brocante, salvage, vintage fashion, accessories, jewellery, and lots more.
We look forward to you joining us on Instagram at 2pm on Sunday 19 April for more exciting Virtual Vintage discoveries!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The idea is very simple...
For Visitors:
From 2pm BST on Sunday 19 April, click on our Instagram Stories @solastc (the big circle with our logo, top left on your screen).
Items for sale by vintage traders will be shared here until 4pm, and they’ll continue to be ‘live’ to view for 24 hours after the fair starts, and for longer in our Highlights.
If you see something you like, contact the Trader directly to buy or to ask a question. Or purchase via their website or selling platform, if they have one.
Click through to the Trader’s profile to find more items they may have on offer. Please don’t forget to follow them.
The total number of stories we can have online at any one time is 100, so those at the beginning will automatically start to be deleted once this number is reached. We recommend taking a screenshot if something catches your eye, in case the story disappears.
There'll be lots to see, so rewind during the fair for what’s new, and afterwards to see what you may have missed.
Delivery services are under strain at the moment, so please be patient with posted or couriered purchases.
Join our mailing list so you don’t miss any future events (there’s a form at the bottom of each page on our website).
For Vintage Traders:
Log on to your Instagram on Sunday between 2pm-4pm BST
It is FREE to participate and there is no need to book in advance.
In your own Stories, post a Story of at least one item with its price, and add our tag @solastc. To be fair to all participants we ask that you post a maximum of three Stories only.
Allow time to create a really stunning-looking Story (or stories). Also aim to encourage people to visit your own Instagram profile and selling platforms to discover other items you have for sale.
We will then share to @solastc Stories at some point between 2pm-4pm.
Visitors will arrive from 2pm and start browsing and shopping.
Original vintage items only please (see the Traders Page for guidance). Non-vintage only allowed if you’ve traded with us previously at our ‘real’ events.
The Fair will be semi-curated; not every Story submitted will be necessarily shared.
Please spread the word by sharing the poster above!
