Paper Dress Vintage is a vintage clothes shop and live music venue on Mare Street in the London Borough of Hackney.
History Started as a seller at vintage fairs, before opening as a traditional vintage clothing store on Curtain Road in Shoreditch in 2007, founder Hannah Turner Voakes and husband Steve Dix began throwing parties in the shop eventually leading to bands regularly performing in the window. It added a bar in 2011 and in 2016 the shop moved to its current location.
The current building has two storeys, with a stage on the upper floor. There’s a beer garden through the back and a yoga studio in an adjoining room.
In 2019 it was awarded a grant by Arts Council UK's Supporting Grassroots Live Music Fund which was used by the venue to upgrade the sound and lighting.
