What is Second Love?

We are so excited to announce the trial launch of Second Love - an initiative to save you money, save the planet and help your wallet.

What is Second Love?

Second Love is a peer to peer platform consisting of a  curated range of samples, seconds, deadstock and gently used well known retro brand names such as Hell Bunny, Collectif, Tatyana, Unique Vintage - and so many more in the waiting wings!

We are trialing the launch with trusted partners - some loyal customers, and some fellow shop owners, but soon we will be opening to more sellers. 

How Do I know if an item is part of the Second Love range?

Every Second Love item is denoted by the cute little Second Love badge. When you are looking at the gorgeous goodies on the Cheribomb Retro website, you will see items with the the badge in the upper right hand corner.

But, Cheri, how do I wear this??

Here are some styling suggestions for how one might wear this Hester Santa Fe 1970s Vintage Kilim-Style Woven Vest:

  1. Boho Layering:

    • Pair the vest with a flowing white or cream-colored blouse, preferably something with bell sleeves or lace details. Add some flared jeans and cowboy boots for a perfect vintage bohemian look. This styling evokes a 1970s Southwestern vibe, enhanced by the vest’s intricate patterns and earthy tones.
  2. Modern Western Chic:

    • Wear it over a fitted turtleneck or slim long-sleeve top in a neutral tone (like black or beige), and pair with sleek dark skinny jeans and ankle boots. This creates a balanced mix of vintage and modern for a chic, contemporary take on Western style.
  3. Festival Ready:

    • Perfect for music festivals, this vest can be thrown over a cropped top and denim shorts with sandals or combat boots. Add some layered jewelry and a wide-brim hat for an effortless festival look.
  4. Dressed-Up Casual:

    • For a more polished approach, style the vest over a simple fitted dress in a solid color (like black or navy). Add tights and ankle boots, and let the vest be the statement piece of the outfit.
  5. Fall/Winter Layering:

    • Layer the vest over a cozy sweater or knit turtleneck, and pair it with wide-leg pants or high-waisted trousers. Top it off with chunky boots or clogs for a cozy, layered autumn look.
