Duke's Cupboard

All too often, checking out a new vintage shop means tirelessly thumbing through dusty racks of neon '80's ski suits and moth-hole ridden sweaters to find, at best, something that might suffice for a theme party. Duke's Cupboard on the other hand gives a whole new meaning to the word vintage shop.

           

Founders Milo Harvey and Ned Membery met a few years back at Berwick Street Market, as frequent sellers with separate stalls. Upon realizing their mutual love for vintage treasures, they decided to team up and open a storefront together. Fast forward a few years and their beautiful, all-white showroom in the heart Soho is jam-packed day-in and day-out with skaters and streetwear lovers alike. Selling vintage sportswear, designer goods, and coveted limited-edition pieces, Duke’s Cupboard has gained a cult following among London’s style conscious.

While they only sell used clothing, their chic store atmosphere and trendy visual merchandising is anything but what you'd expect. An eclectic array of quirky graphic T-shirts are displayed on minimalistic racks and hangers as if they were custom couture, and baseball caps and beanies grace the walls like priceless modern art. From old-school classics like Polo and Stone Island to newbie streetwear brands like Supreme, Palace, and Patta, Duke's covers some serious ground.

Next time you're in the market for a vintage Keith Haring tee, a leather varsity jacket, or a rare Supreme cap, Duke's Cupboard should be your first and only stop.
