Welcome to Roots & Thread - where fashion meets history
Roots & Thread was founded in 2018 by business owner Ella Cluett, who believes that every vintage garment tells a story and deserves to be celebrated. Each piece carries a unique history woven into it's fabric and stitched with memories of the past. For us, Vintage isn't just about style, it's about preserving the genuine stories that make these garments timeless.

Why Vintage?
Vintage clothes aren't just a trend, they are a testament to quality and craftsmanship. For us, Vintage represents a wide spread of styles across the decades of fashion and we showcase this by stocking a large collection from the 1950's onwards. Weather you're after a 90's hoodie or a 60's dress, we've got you covered.
In a word where fast fashion dominates, Vintage garments stand apart for their durability and attention to detail. They are often made to last, designed with care and crafted in a way that modern clothes sometimes miss. We believe that vintage clothes are a celebration of individuality where each item is was unique as the person who wears it.
In a world where fashion is constantly changing there's something special about wearing the original - something that can't be replicated, standing the test of time both in style and sustainability.

By choosing Vintage you're not just embracing a piece of fashion history, you're also helping reduce the environmental impact of the clothing industry. Vintage is a conscious choice to move away from the throw away culture and towards something more meaningful.
