Sustainable Christmas & New Year Glamour: Vintage Style With a Hollywood Twist
This festive season, step into the shimmer of old-school glamour—sustainably. Think pre-loved treasures, vintage party wear, and sparkling jewellery that tells a story. Whether you’re channelling Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Greta Garbo, embracing second-hand style means you get to look like a film star without costing the earth.
Classic Hollywood for the Holidays
Few looks are as timeless—or as perfect for a Christmas party—as Audrey Hepburn’s iconic style in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A classic black dress paired with glittering crystal jewellery never fails to deliver elegance. It’s chic, effortless, and wonderfully sustainable when sourced pre-loved.
Slip into something simple and striking, add a vintage crystal necklace or a pair of estate earrings, and suddenly you’re stepping straight out of a silver-screen moment.
Unleash Your Inner 1980s Glamazon
If subtle isn’t your thing, turn to the unapologetic glamour of the 1980s. Think of Diva and legend Joan Collins in Dynasty—dramatic, decadent, and dripping in chunky gold-tone jewellery.
Wear rainbow-coloured sequinned tunics over a plain black skirt or a pair of velvet trousers, merry and bright for any occasion and guaranteed to make you sparkle and shine. Team with statement chains, a big cat brooch, a brightly coloured clutch bag, and a pair of oversized clip-on earrings to complete the look, sustainable dressing with a big impact.
Celebrate Life: Dress to Impress
The holidays are about celebration—and sometimes the best way to celebrate is to create the occasion yourself. Dressing up boosts your mood, adds sparkle to gatherings, and welcomes in the season with joy as well as bringing joy to those around you.
Even a plain coat transforms with one simple touch: a festive vintage brooch on the lapel. Quirky, glamorous, and guaranteed to make people smile. Raid your grandmother’s jewellery box, explore antique markets, or browse pre-loved boutiques for unique pieces that brighten any outfit.
Sparkle Sustainably with Classic Costume Jewellery
Jewellery has the power to transform an entire look—and few brands do it better than Butler & Wilson. Their sparkling, iconic designs add instant festive magic, whether you’re wearing jeans or a full-length gown. A single brooch, necklace, or pair of earrings can transform an outfit and make you feel truly special.
Finish With a Vintage Evening Bag
Complete your look with a beautifully beaded vintage evening bag. Choose you’re your favourite era from The Roaring 20s, Art deco magic for any party girl, to the film star glamour of The Fabulous Fifties to the unique and retro style of the swinging sixties.
A pre-loved bag adds character, craftsmanship, and sustainability to your ensemble—while making your style entirely your own.
Give the Gift of Sustainability
This year, gift with your heart: choose antique and vintage jewellery, unique pieces with history, beauty, and soul. Whatever your loved one’s style, there is a wealth of preloved artisan made pieces of jewellery to choose from.

These gifts don’t just sparkle; they stand the test of time—and don’t cost the planet.
Shine Bright, Shop Smart, Stay Sustainable
