It's the most wonderful time of the year! The festive season has begun and we have caught up with some of our fabulous customers to find out their holiday plans and wishes for this year. Next up is Sue from At Source Vintage.

What are you hoping to receive this holiday season?
I don't really want for much but all if I was hoping to receive it would be something to treasure. I usually find a secondhand item for myself for someone to buy (or I buy it myself for someone to give). It's usually something I've looked at for a while and deeply considered (it doesn’t have to cost much) and it's ALWAYS secondhand.
I also always hope for a vintage Vogue from my year of birth (very vintage being 1973) as I’ve still got a few to add to the collection.
What are you most excited to give?
I am always most happy to give something I’ve sourced. I often gift girlfriends designer vintage scarves which you can pick up for a song if you know where to look but they give so much and are often so personal to the recipient. I don’t love just going to a faceless site and picking something without meaning.
What would you love to receive from The Hosta?
Oooh it would have to be the burgundy Celine. Danni always sources the best vintage bags and Celine I very much coveted. The only reason I don’t yet have one is because there’s so many to choose from.
Where are you hoping to visit this holiday season?
I'd love to go for a cocktail at Maison Assouline in Piccadilly, and a toastie at Kappacasein Dairy in Borough Market. And I'd love to get down to the coast and visit Margate so I think that will be in order too.
