We Speak to the Owners of Happy Sunday Vintage Shop About Their New Venture

A stunning new glass-fronted beauty has opened its door on Nottingham’s Derby Road. The arrival of the eye-catching vintage emporium Happy Sunday Vintage is another addition to the exciting independents in the area including Little Brickhouse, Little Plant Guys, the Danish Homestore and The Lime Gallery, to name a few. After staying vacant for many years, the iconic building (which many around the city will recognise as the old Ben Bowers restaurant) has been transformed into a technicolour, rummagers’ dream of vintage clothing, rare antique finds, one-of-a-kind mid-century furniture and homeware. Addie Kenogbon caught up with Happy Sunday co-owners, Bryony Selway and Mihnea Georgescu, and their ‘pawsernal’ assistant, Stevie the dog, to find out more about their new venture.

They’ve spent a load of time perfecting their recipes and flavours, so their brand new vegan doughnuts are as delicious as can be. We chat to Sach Nijran about their upcoming launch and why you should give their bad boys a shot…
