The annual Vintage Ideas Market promises to capture memories of forgotten times with vintage items that tell a story of origin and heritage.\u00a0 This unique market will take place from 29 April to 2 May at the Simondium\u2019s Country Lodge between Paarl and Franschhoek.<\/p>\n

According to convener Wilna Rabe, vintage remains one of the hottest trends around and buying these items can be a way of capturing and preserving something of the past.\u00a0 \u201cConsumers are looking for items that can tell a story or reflect a bygone era.\u00a0 The vintage trend allows us to bring a piece of history into our homes and keep memories alive for the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s market has been inspired by style icons such as Frida Kahlo, Audrey Hepburn, Evita Peron and many more.\u00a0 Rabe points out that the preservation of decades-old treasures ranging from fashion to household items is becoming increasingly popular.<\/p>\n

One such an event that made world headlines was the unveiling of Kahlo\u2019s wardrobe collection in 2004, exactly fifty years after her death in 1954.\u00a0 The collection was locked in the bathroom of their Mexican home by her husband Diego Riviera after her death.\u00a0 The home became a museum and the room was only opened when the curators decided to catalogue its contents.\u00a0 Renowned Japanese photographer Ishiuchi Miyako captured the collection of more than 300 unseen relics on camera, which revealed the amazing artist\u2019s journey of passion and pain.<\/p>\n

Another forgotten gem was also revealed in Paris in 2010, when an apartment was unlocked after seventy years to reveal a treasure trove of objects.\u00a0 Described by experts as an exquisite time capsule, the inventory included an original painting by Italian artist Boldini.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Audrey Hepburn\u2019s son Luca Dotti recently published a biography entitled Audrey at Home:\u00a0 Memories of my Mother\u2019s Kitchen.\u00a0 <\/em>The New York Times bestseller combines recollections, anecdotes, excerpts from her personal correspondence, drawings, favorite hand-written recipes and previously unpublished family photographs to give fans an unprecedented look into the life of this famed Hollywood actress.<\/p>\n
