NEW WEBSITE // NEW WEBSTE // NEW WEBSITE

You may have heard us shouting from the roof tops as well as here on the blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, that we are launching a Brand New Website this Friday 6th December!! As you can imagine we are pretty excited about this! In the last 2 months our web team has expanded from just two of us to a team of four, this has given us the chance to really focus on creating an inspiring website to reignite your love for We Are Cow and introduce a whole new bunch of customers who would may be wary of shopping vintage online!

The difference between this website and our last is that all items online are chosen by us, by picking out the best items from deliveries we receive from around the world. We have created a website that will continue to show one off, individual, vintage pieces to fuel your own style but also show how you can stay on trend and how wearing vintage could be the future of avoiding that embarrassing moment when you bump into someone with the exact same item of clothing as you. This is most important to us! Our new Trend section will help to navigate you through the most recent AW'13 trends with items chosen especially for that customer.


We think vintage has become so popular that people have forgotten why they love it and as avid vintage fans we are here to put that spark back into it. We always show our favourite street styles and looks and we think it is so important to have an individual style and that can be head to toe vintage or mixing it up with high street and designer. Whatever your style we are sure we will have something for you. 


With a dedicated team now we will make sure to keep the website constantly changing by adding relevant features, showing new Blogger's Choice, Street Style, Get The Look, Inspiration pages, Trends, our Blog and most importantly we are aiming to upload around 200 items per week that you will be able to search through easily thanks to our refine search tools such as category, size, brand, colour and price. All shot and modelled on our fantastic group of models who we approached because we love their own personal style, each male and female model shows how the item fits and wears it with a real life feel. We have kept all prices low so there will be no nasty surprises at the checkout, just quality one off, hand picked, fashion forward items for a reasonable price!


Before we launch the new website we have a Sale on our current site to make sure we don't have to upload any items that people have seen before, so don't miss out on some super bargains on there

We really hope everyone is as excited as us and you will enjoy shopping on the absolutely brand new WE ARE COW Website!!

See you on the other side

FLASHBACK: Hot Hollywood

Today is a celebration of old Hollywood and the young stars of America who made the Movie Industry an exciting place to be! Or an excuse to look at some hot people from the 1950's and their awesome original style...


James Dean




Oooohhhh James Dean, the icon of Men's 50's style and the bad boy persona. Boys take note of his effortless charm, and his three key looks, the leather jacket, the bomber jacket and the pea coat. Oh and jeans of course. The ultimate poster boy for old Hollywood, and many bedroom walls!

Marilyn Monroe




So we could never leave Marilyn Monroe out of the equation, the glamorous and sweet star of the 50's, with curves to die for. But it was when Marilyn was dressed in her cute polo necks that she looked her hottest, teamed with fitted trousers or aline skirts, she looked demure and amazingggggg!! 

Marlon Brando




Marlon Brando aka 'The Wild One', another fan of the leather jacket but this time it's all about teaming it with the classic t-shirt and a baker boy hat. Maybe don't write your name on yours though, cute in the movies but not so much in real life! (Also how good does he look in that first image).

Audrey Hepburn




Audrey Hepburn and her little elfin face is our final Hot Hollywood star. Audrey had a style that was elegant and graceful but with a little playful touch that now looks so contemporary. With perfect hair hair and eyebrows, and that cute hat in the first image, she looks like a modern day star! 

Fancy a little more Hollywood inspiration, then check out the looks of Brigitte Bardot, Tab Hunter, Patricia Neal, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Steve McQueen, Sandy Dennis, Lee Remick...
