The Vintage Secret x noissue

Your favorite luxury items will not always look as they did when they were brand new. It’s a sad reality, we know. They could show wear and tear from countless uses, and they could break due to mishaps and accidents. But at The Vintage Secret, there’s always a silver lining to such incidents.

The Vintage Secret gives your much-adored designer staples—old, broken, and whatnot—a much-deserved second life. Founded in 2020, this Melbourne-based shop repurposes actual authentic designer items or components and turns them into wearable art—jewelry.

These jewelry pieces, which they breathe new life into, are not only beautifully handcrafted locally but also present a new avenue for designer enthusiasts to opt for a more affordable and sustainable choice. Not only that, The Vintage Secret also uses high-quality, compostable packaging for every order, making for an eco-chic approach that is integral to the brand.

We specialize in repurposing authentic pre-loved vintage designer treasures, including jewelry components, buttons, belts, and bag charms, to give them a second life by transforming them into unique jewelry pieces.

We are a small, female-owned business dedicated to sustainability, authenticity, style, and making beautiful designer jewels that are available in a range of dainty to bold styles & accessible for all designer lovers on a budget.

All our pieces are limited editions and our collections often change due to the small quantities available of the vintage components.

Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted, polished and packed at our Melbourne studio.
