Rokit opens first dedicated footwear and accessories store on London’s Brick Lane
Vintage clothing retailer Rokit has opened its first dedicated footwear and accessories store at 107 Brick Lane in East London.
The new 1,399 sq ft space adds to Rokit’s vintage clothing store at 101 Brick Lane, its original premises in Camden and its flagship store in Covent Garden, as well as its latest and largest vintage store in Cardiff.
Rokit Accessories offers a carefully curated selection of vintage treasures, “spanning decades of style”, with hundreds of products available across multiple categories. It’s packed with everything from iconic Coach and YSL bags and designer footwear to cowboy boots, sneakers, statement jewellery, belts, hats, silk scarves and vintage and new sunglasses, which are crafted from recycled plastics.
Alongside "one-of-a-kind finds", there are also exclusive accessories from Rokit Originals, the brand's in-house rework label.
Rokit Creative Director, Eibhleann McMahon, said: “We noticed an increased demand for vintage accessories as the quality of new merchandise began to decrease significantly, whilst drastically increasing in price.
“In parallel, consumer behaviour shifted towards purchasing pre-owned accessories, including among those who may not previously have considered doing so. We have fortunately reached a stage where most people incorporate vintage into their wardrobe and are not only comfortable wearing second-hand items, but also strive to find exciting one-of-a-kind pieces.
“Accessories have always been a vital form of self-expression, but they rarely take centre stage in your typical vintage store. We wanted to create a dedicated space where vintage and pre-loved accessories steal the spotlight — a place to explore a large, curated range, from everyday essentials to rare statement pieces.
“The result is a unique shopping experience that celebrates history through wearable objects, where individuality can be honed through personal style and, best of all, you can build your accessories wardrobe sustainably and without compromise.”
