About Us

A vintage clothing company for women, men, and children, with sustainability at its heart. Clothes, handpicked by us, owners Hilde and Miranda, are available to buy online and at events.

“A series of coincidences led us to where we are now. It was all meant to be.”

The co-founders

In our former lives we both worked in the scientific industry. Hilde in sales, a former National Product Manager, and Miranda a former Medical Researcher. Not your typical background for vintage clothing company owners! We met when Hilde was supplying Miranda with lab equipment. A while later we ran into each other at our local hospital and noticed we had exactly the same size bumps. A friendship formed over the shared experience of becoming mothers, and a passion for vintage fashion. We both now have two children each, and we work flexibly around our families.

The Moss & Rose story

Moss & Rose was launched in 2019, following many chats about what business we could launch together that would incorporate our passion for vintage and fit around our children.

Both of us have long been into vintage fashion. Miranda started collecting vintage fashion about 20 years ago while living in London. She had a stall on Spitalfields market selling her jewellery, and being in the market she made lots of friends in the world of vintage fashion. For Hilde she’s always had a varied fashion style. One day she’ll be wearing a metal t-shirt and jeans, and other days in a pretty dress. She loves the opportunity for variety that vintage fashion brings.

The why

Re-use, recycle and sustainability is at the heart of Moss & Rose. Both of us agree that in vintage fashion comes better quality, a better price and the chance to own something unique. For us it’s about wanting people to realise that clothes aren’t to be worn one season and then thrown out. Also, as mums to young children it was important to us to have a business that supported positive values and could work around our children

The clothes

We handpick every item they sell. We want people to understand that although vintage from head to toe isn’t always for everyone, it can be everyday wear. Moss & Rose stock women’s, men’s and children’s wear items suitable for casual, sports, and formal purposes, mixed in with the more flamboyant partywear. We source ourr clothes from retired antique dealers, ex collectors, vintage clothes wholesalers and receive donations too.

Collaborations

Supporting charity is important to us. We often donate a percentage of our takings to charity, be it one of our choice, the choice of a clothing donator or an event organiser. Something for the future is the hope to get involved in more fashion shows, collaborate with local stylists and other vintage / sustainable retailers where opportunities arise.
