Rag Mama Rag Vintage

i

Stop. Look around you. Look at the people on Cuba Street. You should notice something: they’re well dressed(and perhaps a bit quaint). They probably got their clothes from Rag Mama Rag. This sweet little shop down Cuba is a good little spot with heaps of vintage clothes which sets it apart from the other opshops along the street. Also the do alterations, handy for those of us who cannot wrangle a sewing machine.

This is my favorite new find. I shouldn’t even call it a new find, as I’ve passed Rag Mama Rag dozens of times while cruising up Cuba St. Almost every time I passed, I would tell whomever I’m with that I’d been meaning to go in for ages. Finally last week a beautiful brooch in the shape of a pair of spectacles beckoned to me, and I made it inside the door. From gorgeous dresses and capes, well-aged pocketbooks, and belts up front, to a full repair shop for your worst holes in your wools and trousers in the back, Rag Mama Rag is a vintage-lover’s dream. I left with the brooch, a perfectly worn stamped leather belt, and a promise to come back with all the pieces from my wardrobe I’ve been meaning to get fixed for ages.
