Imagine... big Topshop but it's ALL second hand. That is Thrift Town in 'Frisco. It was all at once the best day of my life and the worst. I was not in Redruth so could not fill my mum's car boot full of 1980s goodness. I had one suit case so was forced to be strict. I, therefore, only tried on about 15 leisure suits. My biggest regret will always be that the purple paisley shell suit (you can just see it in the last picture) did not fit me. I feel that would have defined the direction of my style for at least the next 10 years. So I left with a vintage bag, a shorts suit for And and a shirt for me... and a head full of dreams and happy memories. 
Somewhere some lucky girl is walking the streets proudly in that purple paisley shell suit. Surely its enough to know that it exists!
