Wabi Sabi Vintage Market


This afternoon I stopped into Wabi Sabi Shop & Gallery to check out their Sunday Vintage Market, an exclusive one-day-only event that they were hosting with Mary Jo Torres from Mulita Couture. I was told that this is just the start of regular “every-other-Sunday” events, which will include poetry readings and wine tastings, along with fashion, furniture and art workshops.

Owner María Lopez Vergera opened her bright new space just off the Plaza Encarnación in part to help make people feel less intimidated about walking into an “Art Gallery”, which I think she mostly does by just being herself.  I love the mix of art and fashion, retro furniture and cool chachkas on display, but it’s the friendly and open welcome you get from María and Manolo that really makes you feel at home.  Seriously my kind of place.

Clothing Recycle Bin


This is something I have been looking for ever since I moved to Sevilla – a place to recycle used but still usable clothing. This one is located on the corner of Paseo Catalina de Ribera & Cano y Cueto, at the end of the Jardines de Murillo, next to the underground parking. If you know of any others then please let me know and I’ll add them to the map.

Beyond Fashion

I’m English but grew up in the U.S., spent 21 years in Berlin in Germany and came to Sevilla 4 years ago. I studied fashion design, but found I really didn’t like the industry; I have done a lot of theatre design and make almost all of my own dresses and skirts and, for the last 15 years, have been making clothes for friends and friends of friends. I’m hoping that my shop will become a quietly popular stop for people who want something unusual – not outrageous, but not generally available. And rest assured, if you bought it at Ajena a la Moda, you bought the only one.
