This ruffled, all-kinds-of-fabulous Mulberry skirt (see below) costs £390 - yet, brand new, its price is £1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],500. And how about that cashmere-and-silk Dolce Gabbana vest tucked involved with it? Yours for £25. Readers, we present the smartest way to shop designer: second-hand. Alright, second-hand (usually classified as newer, pre-worn items) and vintage (pieces that are a minimum of 25 years old) shops have been around for aeons, but what's changed is that some have climbed right to the top the luxury ladder. What that means is you no more need to dig through a mountain of tat to get at the great stuff; here, the mountain may be the good stuff.
Susie Archer, founder of Arch Label Agency, the pre-owned dress agency in Lincolnshire where that Mulberry skirt and Dolce top come from, has stacks of elaborate Louboutin heels from £150 a pop (basic black costs £400 completely new) and classic tweed Chanel jackets for £500 (they nudge £2,000 fresh off the rack) - all in mint condition. "I do not take in anything that's worn - everything is pristine," says Archer, who also helps you sell your unwanted purchases if you can't be bothered to eBay. "A large amount of items are still new with tags on." Style Sequel's USP is sold-out pieces: at the moment, it features a pair of Isabel Marant's trophy wedge trainers. But i am not saying it cannot be decades old. Take a look at the black Dior dress pictured and tell us it isn't modern or wearable. "Good vintage needs to look contemporary," says Carmen Haid, founding father of vintage e-tailer Atelier Mayer. "Any 'too vintage-looking' pieces or items in bad condition I do not touch." Within our selected shops here, you won't find any démodé Chloé Paddingtons. What you will find are ultra-desirable, unique, quality pieces, often in a fraction from the original price.

It stocks Chanel and YSL, but it's the "cool labels that fashion editors love", as one fan puts it, that makes the schlep to Susie Archer's word-of-mouth phenomenon in Lincolnshire worthwhile. Immaculate-condition Marni, Bottega Veneta,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Balenciaga, Jil Sander, Céline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Proenza Schouler and Tom Ford from recent seasons are available at basement prices. A present cross-section of its perusal-only website (customers can order by telephone, 01780 764746) includes Stella McCartney belts from £30, Gucci silk scarves for £50 and a Givenchy bag for £390.
Archer calls her shop an agency, however the hushed white decor has more of the Matches boutique about this than Cash Converters: "A large amount of people don't realise that it's a company and ask for components of certain sizes," says Archer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who set up the company with redundancy money from her old marketing job. You may also make a tidy sum selling your unwanted designer purchases to her to sell on.
Style Sequel's modus operandi is sold-out contemporary fashion: the red Alexander McQueen dress the Duchess of Cambridge wore to the Diamond Jubilee, Isabel Marant's popular wedge trainers, and a star-print YSL dress that Kate Moss modelled in the spring/summer 2008 ad campaign have passed through its (virtual) door.
Most of it's sourced from founder Emma Allen's contacts in London, contributing to 20 percent originates from sellers overseas (Kate's McQueen dress came from a seller around australia). Everything is sold online ("editor's pick" and "collectibles" tags serve as handy pointers), mostly via auction (its website is related to eBay), which can be frustrating should you spot a piece you like, as you've to play the waiting game. On the plus side there's potential for snaffling a bargain: an attractive silk draped Lanvin orange dress is currently up for auction at just over £100. Probably the most in-demand pieces aren't cheap, however, and may sell at as-new prices.

Additionally, it does a selling service; if you have pieces by Christopher Kane,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Erdem and Mary Katrantzou, Allen reckons you're looking at a gold mine. "There was no second-hand market for Christopher Kane 2 yrs ago. In fashion circles, he was popular, however in the public consciousness he wasn't quite there yet. Since he's on his way to becoming a household name, people want to buy him second-hand. People aren't letting go of Mary Katrantzou's pieces yet, because she's relatively new. Bette davis Nineties Falcon earrings, £395. Bette davis Nineties Vine necklace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], £595 (chunky chain). Givenchy Eighties gold-plated necklace with coloured cabochon, £295. Elizabeth Taylor Nineties Vine bracelet, £395 (right). With its chic website design, slick packaging and spot-on edit, we are saying it is the Net-a-Porter of vintage fashion. There's often a bohemian-ish feel to her selections - maxi lengths, opulent prints and high necklines: "I glamourise the Sixties and Seventies and particularly love YSL and Lanvin from that time. I also favour Paco Rabanne, Pierre Cardin, Ungaro, Givenchy, Oscar de la Renta, Halston and Pucci," says the ex-fashion PR. A signature Atelier Mayer piece would be "something in impeccable condition, with beautiful craftsmanship".
Haid also works with upcoming designers such as Rafael López, who's dressed Emma Watson, on exclusive vintage-inspired capsule collections,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and stocks a pleasant line of homewares; we have our eye on the beautiful blue YSL tea set from the Eighties: "I could just trade in Hermès and Chanel, but that is too limiting and boring. I like to provide a wide variety of treasures to people."
Jewellery can make the simplest outfit sing - especially if they come from Susan Caplan. Her e-boutique houses stunning old-school baubles with a modern feel. Caplan's great eye for detail originates from working in the antiques trade for 25 years (she mainly bought Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces) and becoming an adult inside a group of art collectors. "A lot of the styles and shapes are the inspiration for a lot of what we should see on today's catwalks," explains Caplan, who stocks pieces in the Thirties through to the Nineties, starting from £8. The most memorable item she's sourced is a Versace body piece, although labels don't particularly interest her: "I buy because I love the look, not the designer." She's curated a cheaper, fashion-led collection for Asos, which does a hot do business with younger fans, while her more luxurious selections are carried by Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Fenwick. "There is a huge demand for vintage jewellery. It isn't a transient trend - it really is here to stay."
Vintage Seekers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], founded by Lucy Evans and partner Rob Keylock, specialises in collector's items for any super-discerning clientele. If you have a few thousand spare to blow on a Dior Change dress or an original YSL Le Smoking, Vintage Seeker's your type of place. "That Dior dress is nearly museum-quality standard (pictured above)," says Evans from the silk faille piece in the Forties. "Everything we have is at that much cla."
Evans and her team source from private collectors worldwide: "There's a girl who lives in Milan who has a huge collection of Valentino. Among her members of the family worked for Dior, so she has couture that was especially designed for her. She also has Lanvin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gucci and Pucci - it's incredible. Those pieces will be coming to the website soon. Another lady in Ibiza was the wife of a famous rock star coupled with amassed a wardrobe fill of Alaïa." Also worth a punt are the more accessible costume jewellery and soon-to-launch vintage sunglasses.
If clothes aren't your lifestyle, Vintage Seekers also do rare books ("We got washed of first-edition Bonds a fortnight ago"), posters, furniture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cars, boats, watches and wine. Something specific in your mind? They'll hunt everywhere to locate it - for free.
