Bella is a magpie; a collector of things, mostly of vintage clothing and vintage accessories. She loves to share vintage and vintage influenced fashion so much she founded Rag and Magpie, an online boutique (originally on ebay) dedicated to offering kooky vintage and Indie fashion. In 2008 Rag and Magpie launched it's own store and in July 2010 we were renamed Rag and Magpie. We have a broad collection ranging from 40's Pin-up and 50's Rockabilly ensembles and work closely with independent and up-and-coming designers showcase unusual and vintage inspired Indie fashion. We stock;

40's Fashion

There is no doubt that 40's fashion is still in vogue today, as well as reoccurring in the press this is also demonstrated by the 1940's qualities of today's style icons such as Dita Von Teese, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Paloma Faith. If you are in search of a well-priced boutique that offers 40's fashion, Rag and Magpie has a 40's fashion clothing and accessories range which can help you re-create a timeless elegant style.

50's Fashion

If 50's fashion appeals to your taste then you're in the right place! We collect 50's clothing and accessories; we offer a selection of authentic and replica 50's fashion so whatever you're after from circle skirts and sweater sets to authentic 50's kitsch home-wares we'll either have it online or try to track it down.

Indie Fashion

Indie fashion, meaning great fashion designed by independent Designers is definitely on the rise. We at Rag and Magpie showcase to all kinds of emerging Indie fashion designers who make anything from dresses, jackets, lingerie, shoes, bags and accessories but all complement our vintage range or are themselves inspired by vintage fashion. Our ever growing range of Indie clothing and accessories is available to suit many alternative tastes; from gothic Lolita to Rockabilly pin-up and if you just want to dabble in something a little bit different we can help there too. We have written an ever growing Guide to Indie Fashion to help you learn more about the Indie fashion designers in store.

Vintage Accessories vs Vintage Clothing Accessories

We hunt down wonderful vintage accessories and jewellery both authentic and replica so that our ever growing range includes not only the usual accessories such as bags, belts, necklaces and hats but also vintage clothing accessories, that is to say, accessories for your clothing such as collars, brooches, hatpins, cufflinks and more. So if you are looking for some classic vintage clothing accessories Rag and Magpie can help, but keep checking back because we are always adding new finds to the collection.

Rockabilly Clothes

For those who aren't already in the scene, Rockabilly is a modern consequence of 1950's American style injected with a Rock'n'Roll attitude; think poodle skirts and tattoos, or halter tops, polka dots and victory rolls! If you are looking to inject some rockabilly style into your wardrobe, Rag and Magpie is a great place to find an excellent selection of Rockabilly clothes and accessories. We also have a wide selection of Rockabilly clothes to suit all kinds of tastes; from leopard print and polka dots to nautical anchors and swallows. We also have accessories adorned with hearts, roses, swallows, skulls, cupcakes and many other designs to compliment your retro outfit.

Pin Up Rockabilly

Pin-Up style is all about channelling the sexy style icons of the 1950's and of the many influences from vintage fashion, Pin-up Rockabilly is one of the popular and most sought after. Here at Rag and Magpie we offer ensembles for a pin-up Rockabilly to flaunt her assets; from vintage lingerie to authentic and replica 1950's swimwear. There are new pieces added to the range all the time so don your halter neck swimsuit, pull out your rollers and release your inner Pin-Up!
