A Jamaican Cockney Tale: Why Retro Armchairs Still Matter

Long time mi here, Brixton mi home. The real ting never lose value. Back then, South London rough, cold, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Step in Portobello, vintage wingback smell of years. Not new outta box, but dem honest. Back in de day, people buy furniture to last. Dat’s why mi love vintage. Man look pon we like crazy, but It creak but it strong. Mi can see di patch mi stitch wid mi own hand. Design mix by area.

Chelsea go fancy, wid deep wingback. Shoreditch wild, desk chair funky wid mismatched armchair. All dem catalogue chair? Mi tell you straight – rubbish. Old funky accent seat hold family together. Listen dis, comfortable armchairs mi back di old ting every time. When you tempted by showroom, take armchair wid scar, and make it tell your story same as mine.
