Petersfield is getting a blast from the past as a father and daughter have brought the good old days to Dragon Street with their new shop.

Shoppers are getting two stores for the price of one as the doors to Old Labels Vintage and Vinyl Revival spun open on Saturday, April 26.

The venture is a family affair as Andy Sworn oversees the vinyl side of the shop while his daughter, Ellie, is the material girl with a passion for vintage clothing.

The latter also gets a helping hand from her partner, Jack Bourton, while Andy’s wife, Tanya, is also involved in the independent shop.

Andy and Ellie have been trading vinyl and vintage clothes, respectively, for a while but they saw an opportunity when the unit became available at the beginning of the year.

Andy said: “We saw this shop was up for rent and my daughter and I loved the look and feel of it.

“My daughter said ‘this would be perfect’ as we both sell online but have talked for a while about opening a shop.

“It all came together in four months and the landlord really liked the idea. I’m a strong believer that if things come together then it’s meant to be and I felt that happen.”

Andy and Ellie believe their shop will be the perfect fit for Petersfield as it’s got a “great vintage vibe” while feedback was very encouraging on the opening day.

Ellie said: “A lot of people have come in saying this is really going to boost the town and we’ve really been blown over by the feedback we’ve had.”

Shoppers will find vintage menswear and womenswear from the 1930s to early 2000s and vinyl, CDs and cassettes at the shop, look for Old Labels Vintage or Vinyl Revival on Facebook for more.
