How to Decide What's Ordinary and What's Luxury When Shopping Vintage - Vintage Bowles

[@mijadane]

my God. she would be a spectacular character in a novel. imagine the description "a stubby middle-aged woman with thinning hair and missing teeth. when she speaks, she sounds as raspy as an old automobile engine. but what fine eyes she has in fashion"

[@manahilj7094]

I thought of precisely the same thing! Oh my

[@mohamadotto1570]

It could be a novel about a girl on her vacation in paris and stumbling upon this antique fashion boutique when suddenly the owner appointed her as the successor of the boutique. That would be kinda interesting.

[@greyr.4326]

mijadane write that book, please. I will read it.

[@idab2605]

You should/have to/must become a writer that description was artistic

[@holographicsphynx2634]

Life makes the best stories sometimes.

[@BexMcInulty]

Thanks Vogue, for helping me quit smoking

[@yifanwang7136]

LOL!

[@lilbitscandalus]

🤣🤣🤣

[@vaghelanamrata28]

LOL

[@DaisyGalvanlikes]

BRUHHHH LMAFAOOOOO

[@kelliswaytv]

😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@hedwiggalit-pulgada5944]

When she began talking I thought my computer was possessed.

[@EDERRRL]

She looks like so sweet and talk like possesed

[@s-a-i-d4597]

^^ She is a girl or trangender?

[@margaret928]

+Hedwig Galit-Pulgada LOL, I almost spit my drink out when I read that

[@s-a-i-d4597]

Cigarette fuck a life.

[@rudd-dq6ns]

Bahahahaha- you made me spray my latte everywhere lol

[@alexandracole9133]

My headphones were in when she started talking. I thought there was somebody behind me. Scared the shit out of me!

[@NavilleT]

HAHAHAHA

[@chantalg9664]

Alex Cole hahahaha 😂😂😂

[@laurabrady84105]

Alex Cole HAHAHAHA!! That's hilarious!

[@nanalynna5041]

yeahhh me too

[@khatimmclean852]

Alex Cole LMAO I was a bit taken aback by her voice. Don't want to assume but it sounds like smoking induced issues

[@Literally_Anything_Else]

Interesting video, but the "How To" part of the title is misleading. There was no instruction!

[@kimtchamz7513]

I agree.

[@JUWLZ777]

This channel is starting to be clickbait central. They are very misleading. 🙃🙃

[@robesofearth]

By the title of this video I thought I'd get some great tips on how to tell well-made things. Turns out the tip is just...look for the label. :/

[@Ritermann]

Did you really expect fashion is something more than labels?

[@robesofearth]

+walkingonwater when it comes to fashion, labels are the last thing.

[@Ritermann]

Sparrow Salvage I strongly doubt it.

[@robesofearth]

+walkingonwater You're welcome to your opinion.

[@sohinidutta97]

Agreed

[@kuroneko1125.]

For all of you making a big deal about her voice: she probably had a laryngectomy or a tracheostomy and she's speaking through a speaking device! You can see she's wearing something high neck to probably hide the device.

[@eduardafreire7766]

Stefania R. or she just smoked a lot when she was younger

[@walksthroughlife900]

I think you are right! Good catch.

[@andreamoscoso4065]

Stefania R. That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@christinelovesyouX]

who the fuck cares, people are allowed to have opinions. they arent subjective.

[@yukayukayuii]

Probably smoked a lot of pot tbh

[@nothinglikesurrender]

Her voice is extraordinary!

[@raquelsofia6567]

Sophia Self well that's an opinion

[@akualikewater]

While I don't have a budget for luxury items, I find it exciting going to consignment shops in small towns that have not been curated, apprised, sifted through, and finding hidden gems such as these for dirt cheap.

[@pjm7903]

she has my morning voice...

[@Eevanova]

P JM 😂 oh yes! )

[@Ishbel025]

Imagine what her morning voice sounds like...

[@elleelle5847]

She has my cold beer voice

[@twostrudelsplease2511]

Arent morning voices high pitched af? Just me?

[@kennethramirez4613]

Hahaha I died :D

[@ChrisQuimbo]

Although I read the comments before I heard her talking, still, nothing prepared me for the real thing. It cracked me up 😂😂😂 it's very unique

[@mrmidnight8975]

She have such an amazing base in her voice....she should start lending her voice for animated movies... "I am batman"

[@SkylarLux]

Mr Midnight Or a death-metal band 💀

[@kkibela]

Ai em.... Betmen 😂👍🏿👌🏿

[@srideout91]

Mr Midnight 😂😭🤣

[@KarianneHylkema]

The title should be 'Chainsmokers - Paris'.

[@Sofia-dg9uh]

Karianne Hylkema 😂😂😂

[@sabrinajnguyen]

Lmfao that was the best one yet

[@ngoms1260]

Haha

[@proggaparomita13]

Bahahahah

[@amorepsyche808]

ahahaha this comment section is hilarious..I am dying😂😂

[@larissaaleisee6994]

I really agree with him, when it comes to visual merchandising for vintage, giving it a clustered packed Grandma's closet just makes it so exciting to hunt for the treasures.

[@janeo14]

Why am I just finding this now ? He’s very interesting He’s love and knowledge of fashion He’s taste He’s narration Why is this not a full blown series or even a longer video. Waaaaaaa

[@bubblebutt4919]

The vintage owner definitely is the star of this episode. 🖤

[@shugoshugo123]

She could play the witch of a fairytale movie lmao

[@teresayeates8327]

Julie Chen Rude, mannersnever go out of style.

[@user-dx4xf1dd6s]

Her voice was the star here so iconic while she’s talking french very romantic & novel, drama

[@bubblebutt4919]

Her voice was the star here so iconic while she’s talking french very romantic & novel, drama ✨✨✨

[@valgracias9225]

She should land a voice role on exorcism movies.

[@terencereyes696]

Her voice friggin made me lol

[@bubblebutt4919]

*her voice is one in a million like a couture*

[@bubblebutt4919]

The owner of boutique is really fascinating! 💜

[@abrilqueiruga1494]

I couldn't stop laughing when she strated to talk 😂

[@donnawoodford6641]

I still don't know what's ordinary and what's vintage.

[@designsbyden]

i really enjoyed this series. i think ive watched it more than 5x for sure. i just wished they could have created more like this...

[@tori3teq]

I loved that linen piece, was so simple and elegant 😍

[@delightschwartz2155]

I'm so intrigued by the sheer subtlety I'm trying to Google search9 for knot embroidery techniques, I have a similar linen top in a bit darker taupe linen bought at goodwill shop, and alas, the thing is just a bit baggy and shapeless, perhaps it needs a couple well executed darts, and it also has a small but fatally located cigarette burn hole in one of the front panels... If I could construct a couple narrow strips of camouflage, in the firm of knotted embroidery that would be sewn in over the burn, the thing might be utterly transformed. Hmm ... quite intriguing.

[@MissHarleyQuinnn]

that's what it happens when you smoke too much ^^

[@greentea17]

soooooo inspiration! awesome video. love it!

[@roseystroup]

I just love this video

[@cassispie]

Fascinating video xx

[@etoileluxuryvintage9608]

[@LisaElevateDJ]

I could’ve watched a whole hour of this!

[@srideout91]

I would love to see his closet

[@senioritah4823]

I’m glad I read the comment first before she started talking. ✌🏼

[@daizeelazy3484]

0:54 Ryuk, is this you?

[@lynn8524]

Bless her heart

[@mvcurlyqs]

Wow! I did not see that coming

[@MonNZ27]

[@IchNaturally]

Vintage Bowles is priceless!

[@holistic7980]

I 💖 vintage. Great video. Thanks.

[@blahblah1438]

He is so cool. Love his style. 😊

[@Tireagainful]

i love her voice looks like that women of mobsters wive:-)

[@dnwalkingoneggshells]

can you please make this into a series

[@jemmagoodlove5545]

Reminds me of Trash or Treasure in Maidstone. French items at Kent prices.

[@irened.]

"Don't tell Tom I vomitted on the design, in the bamboo". HAHAHAHA!! That's the CC when she speaks French, LOLOLOL!!! 😁😁😂😂💚😉🍡"Needed to take on lobster".

[@kylymapy]

The voice in french so amazing

[@eleanor159]

the red dress he picked was stunninggggg

[@joubaierjoubert7748]

OMG I thought Hamish was making funny voices until I looked at the screen!!!

[@saritakhobare3625]

All the very best 👌 👍 keep it up

[@RhysOHarris]

I love Vintage Bowles

[@mavisary.8503]

She seems like a lovely lady ❤

[@learninghere521]

It's nice enjoy

[@wayneartmann9766]

I am searching for good books that detail up close pictures of the inside of couture garments. Any suggestions?

[@breeesplanada8528]

seriously i want her VOICE!

[@ToniM10]

This woman is the Yoda of Paris.. literally....👽✌️😎💀

[@yshkwmrluv8847]

Does anyone know where one could find the dress at 1:18 ? It's so pretty!!!

[@thecitizenjoan]

I Really can't handle all the comments about her voice. I'm crying hahahahaah

[@emicalato4142]

Guys turn on your english captions whn the lady speaks French.... It's hilarious 😂

[@irened.]

Thank you so much! I just did and posted part of transcription. PSML!!! :D

[@lovefood4032]

Im lmfao while reading the comments. Thanks guys! 😂😂😂😂

[@hagglemyivan]

So the tip is to pretty much know fashion history, and to happen to stumble upon clothes from important designers from important collections.

[@artsandcraftscreations3492]

HOLY FREAKIN DARTH VADER!! (with all due respect)

[@m.s.rahman2662]

Nice to

[@divineangelic2727]

I have the black peek a boo Gianni Versace couture dress in Movie Showgirls with Elizabeth Berkley I'm nit sure if dress was made for her or that the costume designer bought it in one of Versace stores. I just have the dress

[@SYMM555]

3:25 for a second i almost thought this was a Ti pod commercial

[@elletrent9735]

I got absolutely no advice whatsoever about what's ordinary and what's luxury

[@gloriakinya8330]

The video was pointless, the comments, priceless.

[@tranglexx847]

I was not expecting that > low key Batman in his 70s speaking French

[@acat8310]

Cookie Monster? Is that you????

[@faisalkahfi6181]

i can scary my friends with this video...

[@rosemarybloom9851]

Can we please tag along on a tour of this man's collections? Pray tell, is that strapless red dress a Dior? 🙏

[@francescarb]

Her voice made my phone vibrate

[@uuuupppssie]

did she used to have lung/throat/neck cancers before? aside from that, her collection was beautiful

[@aolbeto]

Can somebody summarize what the man said? 'Cause I lost it as soon as the elder woman talked...

[@jschotsborg]

Bartolomeo J. Simpson me too hahaha

[@nazirkhawaja9108]

I was not expecting that voice...

[@japeeisalwaysthebest]

Vintage Bowles! :D

[@JeremiahTatola]

don't smoke kids

[@juliohernandez5230]

that voice asmr fo real

[@TylerMazaheri]

now this needs to be added to the curriculum in schools

[@HaHaHaLMFAOtv]

Quite misleading title I must say. The sad thing I'm not even surprised. Just frustrated that I wasted my time on this video

[@amnasplaylists]

i wonder if she read these comments :(

[@nonchalant5315]

oh my, (Francoise) the old lady's voice frightened me a bit!

[@what6563]

so how I am I to decide?

[@emilyhancock3456]

Her voice reminds me of Roz from Monsters Inc

[@regentstreettv]

Fantastic video. If you love fashion then join Regent Street on Sunday 21st July for The Street is My Catwalk, the world's longest catwalk.

[@Vicky-bm6vo]

Only luxury. Luxury, luxury, luxury... ................ Oh my.

[@dianachophy]

Video is too short!! I wanted to see more of the treasures in her boutique :(

[@valchu11]

3:09 when carl sagan was into fashion

[@em_mbd]

she just smoked too much.. O_o

[@wanizaqwan9376]

i cant focus because of her voice! my god.

[@abrilqueiruga1494]

Batman? Is that you?

[@paulinamartinez6028]

she will have a successful career as a hardcore singer

[@augustoenlasnubes]

For a moment i thought it was darth vader

[@astridvdg1069]

So now how do I decide what's ordinary and what's luxury when vintage shopping? I didn't get anything useful out of this...

[@SkylarLux]

Anyone else beside me bookmarking this video to revisit the comments?

[@see_athousandmiles]

0.55 secs... Is she possessed or something? Sounds like that girl from The Exorcist

[@maybemia5487]

Is this the guy that voices the apple ads?

[@rvandenburg8360]

Ted Bundy look-alike at 3:10

[@katikaz8380]

jeeEEEZZ

[@terobegay25]

her voice scarded the shit outta me.
