This weekend, Mari and Gavin O'Brien opened their new shop, The Glasgow Vintage Co. in Kelvinbridge.
The shop unit is of a certain vintage itself and the long hidden 'Glasgow "Dairy" Company' signage has been salvaged and sensitively customised to suit its new mantle.
There's a remarkable selection of men's, women's and children's 'retro and vintage' clothing, all displayed in an orderly fashion over two floors.
Music wise, they're not churning out any old tat either, Nico lamented as I petted an exceptional collection of structured leather handbags.
The boys get the basement.
Mari O'Brien with husband Gavin who himself has quite a provenance in this field, his family run the legendary Edinburgh second hand institution Armstrong's, established in 1840 (that's not a typo). His vintage store Watermelon, just up the street, has been going strong since 2005.
