We meet: Amber Davies of Viva La Vintage

What is Viva La Vintage?
Viva La Vintage (Amber La vintage on Facebook)  is an eclectic mix of vintage and retro clothing, accessories and furniture situated in the heart of Devonport. Run by mother-daughter team Bronwyn and Amber Davies – who have an absolute passion about vintage, fashion, and interiors – each piece is carefully selected and is unique.

What do you sell?
“Our ranges cover genuine vintage and retro from 1920s-1980s and some reproduction vintage-inspired ranges by Lazy Bones, and reworked vintage dresses by Smoove.
