Nica HQ goes Vintage crazy!

Vintage 2011 at London’s Southbank is finally here! This amazing vintage festival kicks off in style today and here at Nica HQ we couldn’t be more excited! We love taking style tips from the past, whether it’s tea in pretty crockery, classic red lippy, classic fashion or stylish accessories! Southbank will visit various eras from the 20s to the 80s for their celebration of all things vintage, and with fashion shows, dancing, clubs and food there’s something for everyone! In light of our excitement, here at Nica HQ us girls have decided to raid our wardrobes and dig out our finest vintage pieces to show you. Be sure to come back daily to see each of our best vintage finds!

The Nica girls show off their Nica collection!

Working at Nica HQ is the dream job for most girls! Surrounded by handbags all day, everyday is the perfect way to pass the day! There’s nothing us Nica girls love more than wearing our bags on a daily basis. Whether it’s at work or casually, we always manage to find the perfect Nica accessory to suit the occasion!

We thought it would be nice to show you, our lovely Nica followers, how we wear our Nica bags, so Holly and Georgie, our Marketing Manager and Ecommerce Editor chose their favourite Nica bags from their personal collection and headed out to Islington to some of their favourite places.

According to Holly and Georgie, the hardest part of the day was limiting the number of bags they chose to take with them. Both openly admitting to a serious handbag addiction, the girls have built up an enviable collection over the years!

Take a look through the photos below – which is your favourite bag? Do you have any of the same bags? How do you wear yours?

Shoreditch E1 - Georgie wears her Caroline satchel in denim.
"I love this take on the infamous satchel bag. The denim finish is perfect for summer and looks great at work or casually at the weekend!"

 


Brick Lane E1 - Holly wears Aretha slouch in bone.
"The gorgeous Nica flower print of Aretha is so perfect for summer. The colours are stunning and I love the vintage feel. I can't wait to take this on holiday with me to India, it will be the perfect holiday accessory - big enough for shopping in the markets and chilling on the beach!"

 



Chance Street E1 - Holly wears Getta tote in tan.
"This is a brilliant work bag  - it fits everything in it, but it still classic enough to sit perfectly in the work place. The versatile tan colour is great for summer or winter"

 

Spitalfields Market E1 - Georgie wears Emilia shoulder in white
"This cute bag is spot on for summer. The striking weave pattern is a great way to make a statement. I love the chain detail strap, especially because you can remove it and hey presto you've got an evening clutch bag!"
