Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Talk about retro armchair, vintage sofa?. Share space wid three bredren, but dat sofa hold story. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Wander Spitalfields, vintage wingback smell of years. Dem tings not showroom clean, but dem true. Long time before internet, Sofa stay whole family life. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Cold, snow pon street, but dat sofa warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Design mix by area. Kensington love velvet, wid deep wingback. Brixton mash up mix, wid funky old frame. Dem soulless ting? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat carry life. Call it what you like, mi take scarred sofa over glossy fake. Before you click catalogue, funky chair carry home accent chair dat live, and cool armchairs make it tell your story same as mine.
