We specialise in selling beads and jewellery-making accessories from the 1920s-1980s (broadly the defining dates for the term vintage).

The  company was started in Spring 2009 by jewellery designer, Nicky Press. After selling Swarovski crystal beads for 5 years as Crystals4Less, she decided to turn her attention to what she loves best - all things vintage. As a life-long collector of old beads, buttons and textiles, Nicky used this as inspiration to bring something fresh and interesting to the consumer bead market.

Our products are sourced from dealers and collectors who have travelled, over the years, to Japan, Italy, France, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hong Kong and America to find our products. We hope that you will find our ever-changing collection to be as exciting and inspiring as we do!
