The Diary Of A Vintage Shop Owner

The Diary Of A Vintage Shop Owner

By Rachael Sadler

I started my vintage shop after finishing uni with a fashion degree & feeling lost! After falling from job to job and going backpacking for a year, I came back broke, grateful and more determined than ever to have a "job" that I loved! I started Ada's Attic Vintage with £20, it's been the most exciting, interesting & hardest thing I have ever done. My life is unpredictable, weird & mundane. I want to give you an inside look and share my highs & lows of running, building & trying to reach my lifetime goal of having the best vintage shop 🌍 I taught myself everything, unfiltered & honest.
