About
oh hello!
Welcoming you to my online shop, Buckle and Fawn.
I'm Claire and I'm a massive fan of all things retro. I've always been a bit of a magpie and loved collecting things from as young as I can remember! But I think I really fell in love with 1970's when I began my degree in 2004, where I studied Fashion, Art, Film and Design - the 70's being my favourite decade in all of the subjects I covered. For my 21st birthday, my other half presented me with my first 70's print, my beloved 'Tina' by J H Lynch; and she has always taken pride of place in the centre of our home ever since. This was the turning point for us, from having a few 60's and 70's pieces, to having an entire house that reflected our love of the era's.
I was recently in-between freelance contracts and found myself yearning for a job that I could be really passionate about; and importantly, a role that could work around my family-life. I'd always wanted my very own shop... but with a very boisterous 2 year old charging around, I never dreamt it would be possible at this moment in time. Then, after a wee ponder, Buckle and Fawn was born!
All products on this site have been hand-sourced by me, to bring a little retro love into your own home too. The majority of products available are of age so their appearance will reflect a pre-loved beauty. All descriptions are honest and prices reflect the item being sold.
I hope you enjoy your time here on Buckle and Fawn and pick up a product or two, too! I love the nostalgia that can be conjured up with homewares of age. So if you do purchase one of my products, please do tag me across the social channels with, #buckleandfawn. I'd love to share your story!
I'm always eager to hear your thoughts, so if you have any enquiries or feedback, then please use the contact form in the top navigation to wing me a message.
Thank you for stopping by.
Claire.
Buckle and Fawn.
