Team - Buyers
The philosophy behind every collection is that we want you to feel beautiful wearing it. That’s why we try on every item before we buy it. And while trying it on, we pay close attention to an item’s fit and the quality of the fabric, so you can wear our retro clothes with confidence! We also try to ensure that our collection has something for EVERY woman. We achieve this by offering a great variety of styles, decades ((1920s through the 1970s), designs, colours, prints and a size-inclusive range while also paying ever more attention to sustainable fabrics and materials. This way you will feel even better when wearing your new retro look!

“We want to offer a collection that allows
every customer to feel beautiful. That’s why our focus as buyers is on creating
a diverse collection. For example, younger girls often have a completely
different taste in fashion than elderly ladies. There is also a demand for
crazy and fun prints and patterns: it’s a great feeling when we can make our
customers happy this way! I also want to make sure that we offer a wide variety
of colours and shades. That’s why in our collection you will find a great match
for every hair colour and skin tone.’’

‘’We want
our clothes to make you look and feel like your best self. This philosophy is
already evident in our buying process, because we don’t just buy an item based
on a photo or straight off the rack. Everything we buy, has actually been tried
on by us first. It’s quite a unique approach, but something that is very
important to us. This way we can tell how each item of clothes actually fits
and how it looks on different women!''

‘’The items in our collection are not just about
matching a certain decade, but it’s equally important that a customer feels
good wearing them. At the end of the day, every figure and body type is
beautiful and we need to counteract that very limited view of the ‘ideal body
image’ prevalent in today’s society. When putting together our collections, we
try to strike a balance and offer different options. For example when it comes
to our swimwear collection, the demand for larger cup sizes is growing: so that
is something I need to take into account when I’m buying items for our
collection.”

‘’Feeling
good can also be about what you wear underneath your clothes, like wearing the
right kind of underwear and classy tights. For example, I instantly feel
empowered by wearing a gorgeous lingerie set! And because nobody else sees it,
it’s also something you do for yourself. When buying underwear for our
collection, I of course pay attention to an item’s quality but I also make sure
that it’s elegant and has a vintage look.
I’m also happy that an ever increasing number of brands are now offering
tights in larger sizes. What it all comes down to is that you need be able to
wear something that allows you to be you. I truly admire women who do and wear
what they like!’’

‘’I handle the back office duties for our buyers, but I also make the arrangements with our showroom models and I’m responsible for the wholesale side of our own brands like Glamour Bunny. So my job is really diverse! Our team only consists of women and I really like that. We are a close-knit and well-attuned team, both on a professional and on a personal level.”
In which item or outfit do you feel most empowered?
‘’In a dress! I love wearing a dress that
accentuates my waist and has a pretty neckline. That’s when I feel like my most
feminine self!’’
Shopping Queen
''I
feel great when I wear a pair of edgy boots! Either with a pretty dress, skirt
or trousers. Because I’m not that curvy, I like to accentuate my long legs and
wearing boots is the way to do it.’’
Shopping Queen
''I
feel most empowered in a beautiful pair of trousers. That’s not something I
wear every day, but mostly on special occasions. But A-line or pencil dresses
are also my favourites. And during the summer I also enjoy wearing a maxi
dress! A dress always shows off your feminine silhouette.’’
Shopping Princess
‘’When I’m all dressed up, for example when I’m going on a dinner date with my boyfriend: wearing a black dress, high heels, a red lip and pretty tights that accentuate my legs. Because no matter what shape your legs are: that is always super feminine!”
Shopping Princess
‘’I love form-fitting items, like a pencil skirt or dress! As long as I’m able to wear shapewear underneath, because I gave birth not so long ago. ;-) It creates a flattering silhouette and that’s when I feel my best!’’
