History

Established in 2007.

I started collecting vintage and antique clothes in London in the late 70s when I was a professional dancer. This love of beautifully made garments continued, even when I was a horticulturalist.

Finally, I started selling at regular vintage and collectables markets. For a time I had a permanent stall at an Antique Centre in Alexandria.

OTV really began to flourish when it moved to Surry Hills in 2009 on the lower level of the Sydney Antique Centre.

There are quite a few vintage clothing shops which combine to be part of The Vintage Fashion Emporium. OTV is one of the earlier shops in this group.
