Harriet says..."...I've been wearing vintage clothing for as long as I can remember, occasionally selling at festivals and to friends in my teens - but mainly buying (and buying, and buying…). I have a fairly large collection of vintage clothing which I began to try and condense a little by selling at online auction (hattysattic)..."
