A lifetime of clothes and memories lay dormant for decades, only to be rediscovered as vintage fashion treasures in the Riverina region. Amidst the local news of Wagga and its surroundings, a tale unfolded that intertwined fashion, nostalgia, and resilience.
In the mid-’90s, a corporate powerhouse living in London indulged in collecting timeless designer pieces, each item embodying a unique memory. From tailored suits to scarves found in exotic locales, every garment bore witness to a life filled with elegance and adventure.
However, a shift occurred in 2005 when a short visit to Australia transformed into a permanent stay. The corporate world was left behind as she embraced a new life as a farmer’s wife and a mother. Her past existence, encapsulated in carefully boxed memories, awaited her in storage for a decade.
On a poignant Christmas Eve in 2015, her past caught up with her in Australia, but the emotional weight proved too heavy to confront. It took another life-altering event in 2017 for her to consider revisiting those stored memories.
Fast forward to May 2025, when a conversation sparked a momentous discovery for Emma Jensen, an Albury mother. Stepping into a storage unit filled with designer and vintage treasures, Emma was captivated by the array of Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Prada pieces, each item whispering tales of its own.
With meticulous care and dedication, Emma and her friend embarked on a journey to catalog and sell these exquisite pieces through their venture, Perpetual Vintage. The collection, ranging from designer gowns to French lingerie, breathed new life into the concept of slow fashion and sustainable style.
As Perpetual Vintage made its debut in the online fashion market, the response was overwhelming. Emma’s efforts to preserve the dignity of each garment and share its story resonated with buyers, ensuring that every piece found a cherished new home.
Through Perpetual Vintage, a revival of slow fashion emerged, intertwining stories, soul, and style. Each sold item carried a unique narrative, continuing its journey in the world of fashion while avoiding the fate of ending up in landfills.
As the venture gained momentum, Perpetual Vintage’s commitment to honoring the past and embracing a sustainable future shone through. The collection not only offered fashion but also a connection to bygone eras and the opportunity to keep memories alive through the art of wearing and sharing vintage treasures.
