Sisters doing it for themselves

Glasgow Caledonian student combines family and business in new fashion brand

Sister, Sister. For some it was a cult TV show, something to watch while your dinner was on your lap after a gruelling day at school in the 90s. For Charlotte and Hannah Booth it's a relationship that has evolved into one of business partners.

Glasgow Caledonian University student Charlotte has teamed up with her sibling to create vintage brand 'Once Upon A Time Vintage'. The duo have already secured ample press coverage, successful slots at famous vintage fairs and Asos Marketplace sales. And then there are the 700 odd Facebook friends in little under a month.

The pair describe their collection of a mix of vintage clothes with a more contemporary feel, anything from reworked studded vintage jackets, Levis shorts, fur coats, rainbow tee's, and pretty tea dresses.

The girls say they owe much of their success to the ASOS Marketplace website, which has allowed them to sell to a wider market, sending items as far away as Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

One thing is for sure – sisters are doing it for themselves.

The Booth sisters will be at ‘Vintage Rocks’ live music and vintage event on Thursday 10th November at Club 520 on Sauchiehall Street. Doors open at 8pm with tickets priced £3.
