Bespoke Fabrics

Since I was about 10 years old I have been fascinated by fabrics and prints. I just love Vintage prints and have spent my life searching for and loving them. So much so that I think I had trouble putting outfits together as everything I owned was some kind of print. I was probably 13 before I realised I probably shouldn’t be mixing them. I was fascinated with all kinds of prints. Big beautiful florals to cheeky novelty prints. So I am now absolutely ecstatic to be making our own... Read More

Pink Label

Our Pink label just got a whole lot better!   Making my own clothes is a lot of fun and something I have always enjoyed. But now I am happy to say we have started printing our own fabrics. These fabulous prints take influence from Vintage designs and are created exclusively for Vivien of Holloway. You will only see them here. I am so proud and excited this is a goal I have been chasing for a long time yet it came knocking at my door after I searched for... Read More

High Rockabilly 2017

The girls and I decided to take a long weekend off and head to the beach for some Rockabilly fun. I had a last minute distress call from Deke Dickenson to say his luggage had been lost and could I bring him some shirts so I stopped off at the shop and picked up a few to see him through the weekend. We arrived in Barcelona and took the tour bus to see the sights and a lunch stop in the food market before taking the train out to Calafell.... Read More

All the fun of the fair at Dreamland, Margate

When I was a kid one of the most exciting things to happen was the fair coming to town. The rides would always have Rock ‘n’ Roll playing, and Teddy Boys with slicked back hair and creepers would tend them.     Today, you might be lucky and a vintage fairground may come to your town, or you can bring on your own luck and visit Margate’s wonderful Dreamland. With the site being used for entertainment since 1874, it seemed the perfect place for a 1950s Fun Park.    ... Read More

Rockabilly Weekender in Spain

  Trying to avoid the cold weather after being in Australia, it wasn’t hard to tempt me over to Spain for a Rockabilly Weekender. Especially since so many of my friends were playing. So after I organised for the new Kitty Dresses to be made I headed for City Airport. We got a really good deal on our trip and ended up with a lovely hotel. Having lunch with my old chums The Polecats they were very excited when I told them about the new Men’s Trousers we have in... Read More

Travels Down Under

  Well, as you ladies may have noticed, I’ve been off on my travels. Come January when things are a little quiet I pop over to Australia. For those of you that may not know, my sister Christine has a shop in Melbourne selling our range. So I spent my time helping get the shop in line with the London store. She has a fine shop there for any of you reading this from down under or intending to visit. A couple of ladies from London popped in while I... Read More
