Nordic Vintage Market

2023.11.14(tue)-12.3(sun)
POTPURRI Kiyosumi-Shirakawa store

This Nordic vintage fair was held at our Kiyosumi-Shirakawa store.

With a focus on Finland, the selection ranged from Ulla Procopé designs and Esteri Tomula's Botanica collection to ARABIA stacking mugs made for corporate collaborations and a variety of glassware.

Tote bags joined the Life & books pouches made from vintage Nordic fabrics, which had been popular at the previous event.

Each vintage item is an individual find.
We hope you discover a piece that feels right for you.

A small selection of birch-bark pieces, familiar in Nordic homes, was displayed alongside the vintage tableware.

Craftspeople carefully weave each birch-bark basket by hand.
Pieces to enjoy living with for years.
