About Us

Lavish Shoestring is the fun, friendly place for beautiful and unusual vintage homewares for everyday use.

It started with a problem

We started Lavish Shoestring in 2014 because finding good, vintage and antique homewares was a hassle. Too expensive, you need to know what you buy; and it’s hard to find what you want fast, clean and in good condition. We fixed it.

How we fixed it

We made it all simple and demystified. Created a store with the largest stock. Added expert description, best retail practices, fast delivery and great customer service. You get a wealth of unusual, authentic and high quality homewares, all at your fingertips and in a range of prices — because we believe vintage home decor is for everybody.

Lavish Shoestring is unusual

We do it all in-house — sourcing, describing, photographing and shipping your items is done by us.
We love technology — Lavish Shoestring uses artificial intelligence to process thousands of items, seamlessly and fast.
We love design, quality and the Earth — mass-manufacturing is not so cool; but re-using beautiful, high quality homewares is good and sustainable.
