359 King for vintage finds

Red Cross Flagship Vintage boutique opens
When it comes to dressing, you’ve got an eagle eye for vintage finds. So too does Red Cross Retail Buyer Olivia Cozzolino, and it shows at 359 King, the Newtown address for a new boutique charity store to open on Thursday 18 March.

Walk into the retro-kitted store with original WW1 and WW2 Red Cross posters adorning the walls, and you’ll find an eclectic mix of furniture and shop fittings. If it triggers a sense of paramnesia, you’ve probably found their 191 Bridge Melbourne store (opened last December).

Expect hand-picked, top-of-the-range vintage and streetwear clothing. A treasure trove of fashion and accessories, with racks and shelves replenished every few days with stock sourced from here and abroad.

Go forth and splurge, as your well-spent dollars will go even further here.  All proceeds from 359 King will go to Red Cross, providing vital funds for Red Cross programs helping vulnerable people across Australia and overseas.
