Bonjour and welcome to Vintage Bloom!

My name is Lisa and I am the founder and creator of Vintage Bloom Ltd.

Inspired by my time in France where I fell in love with the countryside and all that it offered – from its fine tasting cuisine, wine and lifestyle to the architecture and home décor, I became increasingly aware of my love for vintage and retro items. This lead me to many markets and shops around Paris and into the countryside which is how I came to discover ‘cabonchons’ (a word derived from the French word ‘caboche’ which basically is a gemstone or glass, which has been shaped and polished as opposed to faceted)

I always wanted to bring back a little of our time spent abroad so after returning to Christchurch in 2011 with my husband to have our first child, Sofia, I decided to explore the vintage theme further.

I adore vintage floral! From my nana’s matching floral fine china tea cups and saucers, to images of bouquets on old soap tins – to me vintage floral is dainty and feminine in its appearance and is so perfectly calming and yet sophisticated. It’s just that little bit of antique class! It’s also the attention to detail that I like and appreciate. With my wee creations you will find that little touch in every item – anything from a soft and floating butterfly to a beautiful budding rose.

I hope you enjoy browsing through my creations. If there is anything that you would like to request, or if you have a special order for an upcoming event, please do let me know. I’d be only too happy to help.

Au revoir

Lisa
