Joanie clothing alternatives

[SparkleFly]

With the sad news that they have shut up shop, can people recommend any other brands of retro women's clothing?

I had to stop shopping with them after Brexit because the import tax to Ireland was extortionate.

I haven’t found a worthwhile alternative yet.

Modcloth maybe but that’s American.

Run & Fly are a UK company with some "quirky" prints, tea dresses, retro knitwear & t-shirts etc

Lady V London has a similar vibe. https://ladyvlondon.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopMIjM7V_YUQYSlyGYEWTugHs7TUgwdSZqzzp1vHeAbgLFS9TEu

A little off piste perhaps but I've had a couple of dresses from Heritage clothing which were really good quality. Lots of retro styles!

so you have to search through but there's some vintage prints on popsy https://www.popsyclothing.co.uk/products/tamar-retro-floral-print-pinafore

some of brakeburn if you trawl

apricot has some quirky knits

all of the above have hit and miss

I like this for slightly different breton

definitely not all of Joe Browns, but the velvet party wear is good - Joanie was my go-to previously but they have some nice summer stock channeling Joanie

and weirdly Boden of all places had some retro (70s) bits

...before anyone from S&B comes at me...yes none of this is on-trend. But Joanie was a look of it's own, I have spent 3 days hyperventilating. (and trying to find metallic Mary Janes)

I am going to miss Joanie. Palava has a similar feel

one more. Some of their stuff goes a bit too literal-50s pin-up vintage (my kids will disown me) but I can usually get away with a print in small quantities in summer https://www.dollyanddotty.co.uk/products/aisley-london-pleated-midi-skirt-in-white
