VIRTUAL VINTAGE fair this Sunday, 29th March, 2pm-4pm
Join So Last Century Online for our first ever vintage fair on the web!
As we can no longer hold ‘real’ events at the present time, we’re looking at ways to support our regular vintage traders, in fact ALL vintage traders, for who this is their sole or main means of income.
Inspired by those clever people at @solocraftfair, who held their first virtual market last weekend, we will be holding our first Virtual Vintage fair on Instagram this coming Sunday.
Who will be featured?
You’ll see vintage items from some of your favourite So Last Century traders, and many new ones from the UK and around the World!
What can I expect to find?
Original vintage posters, prints, antique maps and etchings, mid-century decor, lighting, homeware, brocante, vintage fashion, accessories, jewellery, and lots more.
WE look forwards to you joining us on Instagram at 2pm on Sunday 29th March for some exciting Virtual Vintage discoveries!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The idea is very simple...
For Visitors:
From 2pm BST on Sunday 29 March, 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.
If you see something you like, click through to the Trader’s profile to find out more. Please don’t forget to follow them.
To buy an item, purchase directly with the Trader through their website, selling platform, or just send them a DM.
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 will be lots to see, so keep checking back during fair to see 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.
Please sign up to 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 this Sunday between 2pm-4pm BST
It is FREE to participate and there is no need to book in advance!
On your own Stories, post a photo of one of your products with its price, and tag us @solastc. Your Story should aim to encourage people to visit your own Instagram profiles in more depth; allow time to create a really stunning-looking Story. You can post a maximum of three Stories.
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 details). If you wish to sell craft or handmade items, please do this at the @solocraftfair Virtual Craft Market on Saturday 28 March.
Please spread the word by sharing the poster above!
