We Speak to the Owners of Happy Sunday Vintage Shop About Their New Venture
Mon 14 Aug 2023A stunning new glass-fronted beauty has opened its door on Nottingham’s Derby Road. The arrival of the eye-catching vintage emporium Happy Sunday Vintage is another addition to the exciting independents in the area including Little Brickhouse, Little Plant Guys, the Danish Homestore and The Lime Gallery, to name a few.

Addie Kenogbon caught up with Happy Sunday co-owners, Bryony Selway and Mihnea Georgescu, and their ‘pawsernal’ assistant, Stevie the dog, to find out more about their new venture.
