OUR MISSION: TO HELP SAVE THE PLANET ONE PAIR OF JEANS AT A TIME!
AS OUR FAMILY-RUN COMPANY HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS, WE ARE PROUD TO NOW SAVE UP TO 400,000KG OF TEXTILES GOING TO LANDFILL PER YEAR.
WE STRIVE TO FIND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO CONTINUE OUR PATH IN DIVERTING CLOTHING GOING TO WASTE BY UP-CYCLING AS MANY MATERIALS AS POSSIBLE! WE ALSO HOST VINTAGE KILO SALES FOR OUR LOCAL RETAIL CUSTOMERS AT BOTH STORES IN LAUNCESTON & PLYMOUTH.
OUR STORY
THE VINTAGE SUPERSTORE GROUP BEGAN IT'S JOURNEY SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE WHAT YOU SEE TODAY. FUNNILY ENOUGH WE ARE NOW GOING BACK TO OUR ROOTS AS ALL OF THIS STARTED 7+ YEARS AGO FROM OUR FOUNDER OLLIE GETTING HIS FIRST 25 PAIRS OF LEVI'S AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO SELL THEM ON EBAY. AFTER A LOT OF HUSTLE AND BUSTLE WITH FRIENDS STICKING BY HIS SIDE ALONG THE WAY, THIS IDEA BEGAN TO GROW AND TAKE OVER SPARE BEDROOMS, GRANDPARENTS GARAGE SPACE AND THEN ANY OTHER SPOTS HE COULD SNAG!
IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THE FAMILY HOME HAD ENOUGH OF SEEING DENIM IN EVERY KNOOK AND CRANNY, SO AFTER SPENDING A COUPLE OF YEARS ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION, IT FINALLY HAPPENED AND WE THEN DECIDED TO HAVE A CRACK AT THE RETAIL SPACE. THIS IS WHERE VINTAGE SUPERSTORE CORNWALL WAS BORN - AFTER 3 MONTHS WE HAD DOUBLED IN SPACE TO PUT MORE RAILS OF STOCK OUT, THEN 2 MONTHS LATER THE SUMMER TOURISM HIT US BY STORM AND WE QUICKLY DOUBLED AGAIN! THE NEXT STEP FOR US WAS INTRODUCING OUR VERY POPULAR VINTAGE KILO SALE EVENTS WHICH PROVED TO BE A BIG SUCCESS BY PROVIDING REAL VALUE FOR MONEY TO OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
AS WE HAVE BEEN SO FOCUSED ON THE GROWTH AND STRUCTURE OF VSC, LAUNCHING OUR SECOND STORE IN PLYMOUTH AND HOSTING ABSOLUTELY CHAOTIC VINTAGE EVENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY, ONLINE HAD TO TAKE A BACK SEAT AS IT REQUIRES EQUALLY AS MUCH FOCUS TO KEEP THE SHIP SAILING.
WE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF HOURS SORTING, LAUNDERING & GRADING THROUGH OVER 30 METRIC TONNES OF LEVI'S FOR THIS ONLINE LAUNCH. IT IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD TO PROGRESS OUR COMPANY IN IT'S MISSION TO HELP
SAVE THE PLANET ONE PAIR OF JEANS AT A TIME!
IT GOES WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT NONE OF THIS GROWTH WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HARD WORK AND PASSION FROM EVERY MEMBER OF OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM WHO HAVE BEEN A PART OF OUR JOURNEY ALONG THE WAY TO GET US WHERE WE ARE. IT HAS BEEN A TRUE HONOUR AND WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!
WE ARE A CUSTOMER FOCUSED COMPANY AND LOOK FORWARD TO SHOWING THIS TO ANY OF YOU WHO CHOOSE TO SHOP WITH US ONLINE IN OUR NEXT STAGE.
HAPPY CUSTOMERS FROM OUR £1.00 KILO SALES
