This weekend, Victoria's National Trust will let you into its covetable closet when it opens the doors to the tenth iteration of Melbourne's "biggest and most authentic" vintage and designer clothing sale. You'll be able to get a feel of a Armani coat and fight over Valentino as a cavalcade of items take pride of place in South Yarra's 1800s-built Como House on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22.
The pieces on offer will run from the affordable right up to the super expensive, but all will be going at a reduced price. Given some of the brands on offer — including Alexander McQueen, Armani, Valentino, Max Mara and Missoni — you'll be able to pick up some bargains, or opt for a few investment pieces.
Covering fashion from late 1800s onwards (yes, there'll be 100-year-old fashion on offer), the range will focus on handbags, scarves, jewellery, hats, belts and ready-to-wear clothing. Keep an eye on National Trust's Instagram to see more sale items, which'll be posted in the lead-up.
Entry to the massive sale is $2, with all proceeds going towards Como House conservation projects. We also suggest getting there early to snag the good stuff.
Vintage Clothing Sale at Como runs from 10.30am–4pm, with National Trust Members allowed in from 10am.
