Rellik on Golborne Road remains a stylist favourite for designer vintage

Ask a London stylist where to find a rare piece of designer vintage, and there is a good chance Rellik will come up. The shop has been a vintage destination since 1999, and it remains one of the most respected names in the capital's second hand fashion scene.

Rellik describes itself as a place frequented by fashion enthusiasts, stylists and celebrities. Its stock is carefully curated, spanning vintage pieces from the 1960s to the present day, with a particular strength in designer labels. Names regularly found on its rails include Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake and Vivienne Westwood.

A look at the shop's online selection shows the range. Recent pieces have included vintage designer sunglasses, suits, dresses, jewellery, bags and shoes, with prices running from around £65 to well over £1,000 for the most collectable items. Some pieces are in such demand that they are out on photo shoots, a sign of how closely the fashion industry follows the shop.

That industry connection runs deep. Rellik operates a rental service, loaning garments to stylists and productions, which makes it a quiet presence behind many fashion shoots and editorials.

The shop also helps keep great clothes in circulation. It buys and consigns clothing from the public, so those with a special piece to sell can bring it to an expert eye, and it offers gift cards for anyone shopping for a vintage lover.

For shoppers, the joy of Rellik lies in its curation. Rather than rails of everything, it offers a focused edit of pieces chosen for their design and quality, making it a good place to find an investment piece or a statement outfit.

The shop announces new drops through its newsletter, so regular customers can be first to see the latest arrivals, and the website lists new arrivals for women and men as well as jewellery.

With second hand fashion more popular than ever, Rellik's quarter century of expertise makes it a destination for anyone serious about vintage.

Rellik is at 8 Golborne Road, W10 5NW, and opens Tuesday to Sunday. For new arrivals, selling and rentals, visit relliklondon.co.uk or call 020 8962 0089.
