“

Second Hand September brings a focus to sustainability and it is such an easy way to be sustainable! By not buying clothes that are brand new you can have so much fun.”

Being part of a second hand movement

Felicity joins a growing Oxfam movement, now in its fourth year, helping to protect the planet by buying, wearing and donating second-hand clothes.

For Felicity, shopping second hand is something that has been a part of her life for years.

Finding unique vintage pieces

With an authentic connection and a family fondness for shopping second hand, we had to ask... where does Felicity find her beloved pieces?

“

My favourite place to shop vintage would be Berwick Street. It has some amazing vintage shops that I’ve been going to for many, many, years. Chiswick is pretty good and Marylebone High Street. Between all those places you’re guaranteed to get something amazing.”

Vintage shopping in Birmingham

What is the place to go for vintage where Felicity grew up?

“

Growing up in Birmingham there was the Oasis Shopping Centre which used to have incredible vintage stalls and [you] would get just brilliant finds from there. Harborne High street is another great place in Birmingham to shop for second hand clothes.”

The most treasured pre-loved pieces

What is the most loved pre loved item of clothing in Felicity’s wardrobe?

“

It’s very difficult to choose because there are many in my wardrobe. Some of my favourites would be things that I bought most recently when I was in Glasgow shooting. There was an amazing second hand shop near where I was staying and I got a beautiful black velvet handbag that has gold embroidery on it which makes me feel like Kate Moss in the 90s; always a good look! I also have a black velvet jacket with a ruffled collar and side buttons, which is another favourite and I purchased a nice pink cashmere ballet cardigan that I’m very pleased with.”

Felicity Jones' top tips for Vintage shopping

Felicity shared some vintage wisdom...

“

My top tips for second hand vintage shopping? Always look at materials. You can get good strong wools, great tweeds and velvets; really heavy velvets that are quite hard to get now, particularly if these pieces of clothing are from the 70s and 80s.”
