Job description
Who are Vintage Threads?
Founded in 2016, Vintage Threads are one of Europe’s leading vintage retailers operating across both online and physical stores. Every piece that we sell has been handpicked from around the world and we typically sell a highly curated selection of both designer and sportswear from the 80s, 90s and early 00s. The VT Rework department of the business is a massively evolving space and our goal is to carry on reducing the waste produced by the fashion industry by reworking damaged items to create some truly unique pieces. Our team is full of young energetic and ambitious people who are truly passionate about vintage and the story we are trying to create through the items we source and produce and we would love whoever fills this position to share this passion.
What Is The Role?
You will be working in the Covent Garden store 3-4 times per week along with our Selfridges store. You will be in charge of opening or closing the store, making sure the store is set up to the correct specification and the customer gets an A start journey when coming in the store to shop. There is very strong opportunity for progression within this role as we need a full time member of staff to be managing one of our Selfridges sites.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience - You need to have worked in retail before. The shop is very busy and you should be comfortable with dealing with multiple customers at once
- Passion - We aren't a normal vintage shop who shoves clothes on the rails with a smell of your grandma's house. We curate one of the most high end selections of vintage in the UK. We need someone who understands this and can help add their own passion into the role
- Reliability - You will be expected to some weekends and bank holiday's. If this doesn't fit into your schedule then please dont apply for the role. As an example we will need this person to work some of the days during August bank holiday.
There is huge potential within Vintage Threads to get experience working at out other stores and our East London studio. So if you are also looking at long term growth this might also be relevant for you.
