TWO pals have defied the economic doom and gloom to launch a vintage clothing business.... from a garden shed.

Entrepreneurs Joe Welsh and Ryan Sanderson have been running their online business, OneOff Vintage, since April and say business has been booming throughout the year.

The duo have sold thousands of vintage clothes from the 80s from a shed in Ryan's back garden and have also set up an app to make it easier for customers to browse.

Joe said: "Thanks to a boom in e-commerce and a growing demand for sustainable vintage clothing, we’ve seen thousands of people choose second hand over new and it’s incredible.

"Vintage clothing has really expanded its scope recently and now includes a whole range of classic brands that have been providing some of the coolest sportswear and designer clothing over the last four decades.”

"We’ve had a really positive response to the idea of buying second hand clothes and people love that they can get their one off items from their favourite brands whilst also making an environmentally friendly choice.

"And we’ve seen that same enthusiasm on our app as well with people always getting in touch saying that they love the message and products.”
