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 or Soho store 3-4 times per week. You will be the face of the brand for new customers so it's crucial that you bring energy to the role, a love for vintage and a passion for delivering first class customer service.
We create a lot of content in the store, so if you are looking for a job with content creation then this is also an ideal opportunity.

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 don't apply for the role. As an example we will need this person to work some of the days during August bank holiday. Brand Knowledge - You are going to be working with brands such as Prada, Stussy, Stone Island, D&G, Burberry, Moncler and so much more. Brand knowledge would really help you shine in this role as customers look for your knowledge on learning more about the items. Availability - Must have weekend availability. Saturdays and Sundays.
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.

Cover letter is required.
