One Vintage is a unique luxury brand based in London that sells one-of-a-kind reworked garments created by Marcelle Symons. Even if it isn't your inclination to stand out,  no one likes to be wearing the same thing as the next person. For pieces that are wholly singular, Symons blends together vintage textiles and relics into contemporary finds, often including original hand-crafted beading and embroidery. Her work ranges from ornate to delicate but one thing’s for sure—once it’s gone, it’s gone, so act fast. Here’s a tip: for the latest updates, follow them on Instagram.
