Dulcie’s, the iconic vintage clothing store known for its vintage clothing bus that frequents events around South Australia, is making some exciting changes at its Grange Road store. With permanent locations in Kidman Park and the Adelaide Arcade, Dulcie’s has been a go-to destination for vintage fashion enthusiasts, thanks to Amanda Blair and her team’s dedication to sourcing unique finds.
Recently, Amanda shared the news of these changes on Dulcie’s Facebook page. The most significant update at the Grange Road store is the removal of the “specials rack,” with all items now organized together. This new structure allows customers to discover hidden gems while shopping and eliminates the need to sift through separate sections. Additionally, the store has removed outdated items and reduced pricing to make vintage fashion more accessible to everyone.
The adjusted pricing includes dresses, jackets, and jumpers for $25, pants and skirts for $20, long gowns and formal dresses for $50, women’s shirts for $15, men’s shirts for $15, and men’s suits for $50. These new prices aim to make sustainable fashion more affordable and promote the reuse of clothing.
In addition to these changes, Dulcie’s is shifting its focus towards education, community building, and raising awareness about sustainable fashion. Amanda emphasized the importance of reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion and advocating for better waste management practices. The store is now offering bundles for resellers to spread the joy of vintage clothing and promote sustainability further.
Amanda’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the store’s operations. She is actively lobbying governments to recognize the vital role of the secondhand market in the economy and find ways to improve the sector’s practices. By focusing on education, community engagement, and awareness campaigns, Dulcie’s is leading the way in promoting sustainable fashion practices.
The revamped Grange store layout offers a more pleasant shopping experience for customers, reflecting Dulcie’s commitment to providing a welcoming environment for vintage fashion enthusiasts. With these changes in place, Amanda believes that Dulcie’s has found the right balance between affordability, sustainability, and community engagement.
For those who have been loyal supporters of Dulcie’s over the years, Amanda expressed her gratitude and hopes to continue making customers happy for many more years to come. With a renewed focus on education, community, and sustainable fashion, Dulcie’s is not just a store but a hub for promoting conscious consumerism and preserving the history and value of vintage clothing.
