Tara Starlet is a vintage inspired fashion line with responsible ethics and a timeless charm. Created, and run by a mother and daughter team, Tara Starlet is a family business, born out of a shared passion for the glory days of the 1940s and ‘50s, and a mutual concern for the well being of our planet and it’s inhabitants. We take our inspiration from the original Pin-up paintings and silver screen starlets like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe as well as our collection of original patterns. The collection is full of dresses for rolling around in the overgrown grass, playsuits for picnics in the park, and circle skirts for swing dancing. They’ll take you back in time to the days long-gone where clothes were cherished until the elbows were worn and the buttons were lost. We want our customers to treasure their pieces for as long as possible, true style never goes out of fashion!
We are advocates of recycling and we have a collection of original buttons and trimmings from our favourite era that we try to incorporate into our designs wherever possible, giving our collection true authenticity. Also we reinvent quality wool jumpers, injecting a bit of fifties glamour to give them a new lease of life! We use end of roll fabrics too, putting to good use what would otherwise be waste. This means that our designs are often made in a selection of different fabrics with a limited amount of garments in each, so you won’t find hundreds of other women wearing the same thing! On top of this, all of our clothes are made locally in London, to keep our carbon footprint dainty. These ecological techniques help to make our collection authentic, unique and exclusive, and at the same time, keep our conscience clear as crystal!
