Out with the new - and in with the old...
SAVE your pennies and save the planet by joining the trend for recycled clothing. Vintage design is not only a way of making your own style statement it also means you can pick up good quality tailoring for a fraction of the high street price.
To check out some of the vintage fashion available in Birmingham, we headed off to Birmingham's famous Rag Market.
Stallholder Paul Canning, who has been selling vintage clothes for 18 years, says demand is now soaring thanks to the vogue for going green.
"I'm definitely seeing a lot of new faces to my stall.
"Many of them want to do their bit for the environment, as well as wanting to look that little bit different to those who shop on the high street."
Visit the Rag Market on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 9am and 5pm.
