Photographed by the beach in Whitby, this 1970s turquoise swimsuit is priced at £25 from Nowhere Near New, while the oversized bright pink jacket is £20 with Rose & Brown, both local dealers. These items are for sale at the Great Seaside Vintage Fair.
With the Meteorological Office showing that roasting temperatures are ‘here to stay’ at the beginning of July in the UK, and people sweltering on packed beaches, cooling off in the sea is essential. And what better than in a vintage swimsuit?
At the Great Seaside Vintage Fair held in the coastal town of Whitby in North Yorkshire on Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22, 50 dealers will be selling fashion and homewares from the 1920s to the ‘80s in the Whitby Pavilion overlooking the sea.
