Gwangjang Market – Vintage shopping in Seoul

When we first decided to visit Seoul, I did what any normal vintage lover does and Googled Vintage + Seoul.

Hello!

Grab a Scotch in a 60s tumbler and some Nutella and enjoy some timeout at Scout & Finch.

Scout & Finch is about sharing great finds, bits and pieces we scout out along the way.

It could be anything from new vintage places, fashion, retro furniture, design ideas for the home, photos, allergy-friendly recipes or even something that amuses. Scout & Finch has no set theme or personality – except one goal to scout out the best places to visit.

Please take note, if you are after modern and lifeless colours and concepts when it comes to fashion and furniture, keep clicking through Google.

Anyone is welcome to share the journey with me and hopefully share their finds that they Scout out too.
