Kitz Vintage Studio
Vintage wardrobe sourcing and styling for film, theatre and creative productions.
About the Studio
Archive. Craft. Direction.
Kitz Vintage operates as both a curated archive and a creative partner. We work alongside film and theatre productions, creative agencies, photographers, and art directors, bringing a considered wardrobe perspective to every visual project.
At the core of Kitz Vintage is a carefully maintained archive of vintage children's clothing, one-of-a-kind garments selected for their craftsmanship, provenance, and visual character.
Our experience spans styling, visual direction, and production workflows. We understand the pace and precision that creative productions demand, and we work within those parameters without compromising on quality or vision.
Every piece in the archive has been individually sourced and assessed. Nothing is incidental. Everything serves a story.
What We Offer
Studio Services
Three distinct services, shaped to the specific needs of visual productions, from a single scene to a full wardrobe build.
Wardrobe Rental
Full or partial wardrobe access from the archive for productions of any scale. Flexible quantities suited to film, theatre, commercials and campaigns. Each selection is prepared and presented with production context in mind.
Sourcing on Demand
Custom sourcing based on script, moodboard or creative concept. We identify and curate specific looks that align with your visual direction, drawing from our network and archive knowledge to find what cannot simply be found.
Styling & Creative Direction
Wardrobe styling per scene, character or concept. We collaborate directly with art directors, production designers and creative teams to ensure visual consistency, tonal alignment and authentic character expression throughout the production.

Productions We Work With
Built for Visual Storytelling
Kitz Vintage Studio works with productions where the visual world matters and where a single garment can define a character, a period, or a mood.
Our archive and services have been shaped around the specific demands of each of these contexts. We understand what a film set requires, what a theatre wardrobe needs, and what an editorial shoot expects.
Film Productions
Feature films, short films, period productions and contemporary narratives requiring authentic vintage wardrobe.
Theatre Productions
Stage productions requiring character-consistent vintage children's wardrobe with production-scale flexibility.
Commercial Campaigns
Brand campaigns, television commercials and content productions where wardrobe contributes to visual identity.
Editorial Shoots
Photography projects, fashion editorials and magazine productions seeking rare, considered vintage pieces.
Investment
Pricing Approach
Every production is different in scope, duration, and vision. Pricing at Kitz Vintage Studio is structured accordingly, tailored to the specific nature of each project rather than applied as a fixed rate.
We consider the scale of the wardrobe selection, the complexity of sourcing requirements, the level of styling involvement, and the duration of use. A single-day editorial shoot is approached differently from a multi-week film production.
All project enquiries are reviewed individually. Following a brief consultation, we provide a clear and transparent proposal aligned to your production's needs.
Fee Structure
Archive Access Fee
Based on the number of garments selected and the duration of use.
Sourcing Fee
Applied when custom sourcing is required beyond the existing archive.
Styling Fee
For productions requiring on-set or pre-production styling and creative direction involvement.
"Vintage clothing adds depth, authenticity and character to visual storytelling. We work with pieces selected for their craftsmanship, history and visual impact."
Our Philosophy
The Archive as a Creative Tool
Vintage clothing carries something new garments cannot manufacture : time. The wear of a collar, the weight of a fabric, the particular fading of a colour. These are details that bring visual stories to life in ways that cannot be replicated or sourced from a contemporary supplier.
At Kitz Vintage, we believe the wardrobe department is not a support function, it is a creative one. The pieces we select, source and present are chosen with the same attention to visual language that a director of photography brings to light, or a production designer brings to a set.
Our archive is not a stockroom. It is a carefully considered collection, built over time, organised by era, character type and visual tone. Every garment has been individually assessed for quality, condition and production suitability.
We work with productions that share this standard and where the decision to use vintage is intentional, and where the visual world of a project is treated as a priority from the earliest stages of creative development.
The Archive
A curated collection of vintage children's clothing spanning multiple decades, individually sourced, assessed and maintained for production use. Each piece is documented and available for review as part of the briefing process.
The Studio
Beyond the archive, Kitz Vintage operates as a creative studio; offering sourcing, styling and directional support to productions that require a hands-on wardrobe partner rather than a transactional supplier.
The Collaboration
We work closely with art directors, directors, photographers and creative leads to ensure that wardrobe decisions serve the wider visual intention of each production, from early concept through to final delivery.
Work with the Archive
Limited Project Availability
Kitz Vintage Studio works on a limited number of productions at any given time. This is a deliberate choice. It allows us to give each project the attention, care and creative investment it deserves.
If you are working on a film, theatre production, campaign or editorial project and are looking for a considered vintage wardrobe partner, we welcome your enquiry.
