The story of how...
Lazy Dazy Vintage came to be
Welcome to Lazy Dazy Vintage - my personal selection of beautiful homeware pieces from the past.
My name is Louise and I created Lazy Dazy Vintage to bring together my love of vintage design and quality with my desire for sustainable living. My mission is to make vintage mainstream!
​
During my career in international advertising and research, I worked almost exclusively for large multinational clients focused on the latest product or trend and mass-market profits, As part of this I had the good fortune to spend a decade living and working in Milan. Italian culture places high value on time-honoured, artisanal production, on lasting quality and craftsmanship with deep respect for tradition and experience. Yet at the same time Milan is the fashion capital of Europe, where you witness exciting new designs and ideas.
This understanding changed my perspective and gave me a new appreciation of how vintage can be paired with modern to create a unique look. By buying pre-loved pieces you are making a style choice as well as a sustainable one.
​
The items in this store have all been hand-picked by myself for their unique beauty and / or quirky charm. They will add an authentic touch of the past to your home. It is a delight and a privilege to treasure hunt objects that have stood the test of time so they can be admired and appreciated again. Often these items have been passed down and stored away carefully in cupboards to preserve their personal value, brought out only on special occasions.
I hope you find something here that catches your eye and inspires you, that will add style to your own home or make a unique gift.

PS As with all vintage some items will have small imperfections or signs of wear, which are always stated in the description. These never detract from the beauty of the piece.
