The Fintage association organises twice a year a great vintage weekend event in Tampere. In winter it’s at the Vapriikki Museum and in Summer in a market place surrounded by wooden houses. The Fintage events combine good vintage shopping with quality presentations on treasures from the past e.g. gramophones, embroidered cloth from early 20th century (directly from the museum’s collections), dolls; guided tours to the museum; live music; dance and a vintage fashion show. A great two days program!
Hence, we headed early on Saturday morning to Tampere with friends. I was wearing a winter suit – in black and white tweed – with a red sweater, red scarf, red hat and gloves, a red and black purse and belt and black heels.
On the way back from Tampere we stopped by a museumed locomotive for a couple of pictures.
The suit is from an antique mall in Long Beach California (purchased last spring), the hat is a reproduction one, bought a few years ago from the Ophelia Market in Helsinki. The gloves, scarf and the sweater are from antique malls in the US. The heels, Finnish made, are from Nasta vintage shop in Helsinki, the purse is from VintagEija’s. The locomotive is a Finnish made ”Risto” model (from the name of Finland’s 5th president Mr. Risto Ryti), dating back to 1956 i.e. roughly the same time as the suit.
And I also wear this suit very regularly at work…
What a stylish suit, very smart! And such a great location to do a photo shoot 🙂
You look great!
Thanks Siri! we found this location just by mistake: we stopped for refuelling and there was the train! Good luck.
What a great outfit and accessories. Your outfit and the train colors match perfectly.
Thanks Susie! That was the idea actually .-)
