The story so far

The first few months in our new but really quite old and beautiful shop have been pretty full-on: busy, exciting, nerve-wracking, but mostly a total joy. It's been great to see so many of our loyal customers from our previous incarnation Ben's Vintage and to welcome so many new faces, the response from everyone has been lovely. Overstrand was born out of our vintage store, where we began to stock Uskees, a modern take on traditional workwear, ethically and sustainably produced. The demand was such that we needed more room, which coincided with the premises at number 45 the Old High Street becoming available. The shop space is truly stunning, flooded with light from the massive curved glass frontage and it was to good an opportunity to miss. The new shop gave us a chance to expand our offering, introducing womenswear, homeware and lifestyle goods, which lead to a change of name as it was no longer solely vintage. Strand is an old word for beach or shore and as we're situated just above the shore we adopted the name Overstrand. Our vintage collection is now housed on the first floor of number 45 and we have plans for our basement too, so stay tuned for further news and thanks for sticking with us so far. All the best, Ben and Svenja.
