Paisie was founded back in 2010 by Central Saint Martins’ graduates Kate and Vicky. Both had worked for leading fashion brands before and decided to fill the gap in the market for design-led yet affordable fashion.

Their collection is filled with fabulous and very expensive-looking clothing, jewellery and accessories. The goal of Paisie was to create pieces that are modern with a nostalgic twist. The designers were very inspired by a glamorous lifestyle and a passion for vintage markets and antique accessories.

Designers Kate and Vicky both believe that tasteful and good-quality clothing should be affordable, and thus the Paisie brand was born: “Paisie’s collection is for the urban girl-about-town with a hint of elegant romantic flair.”

There are loads of tailored dresses, lady-like jackets, rock’n’roll jewellery and other bits and pieces to choose from. We love the ‘Big stone studded skull ring’, a studded skull ring with a moveable headphone. It’s definitely an eye-catcher (£16.50).

We also love the ‘Stunning One Shoulder Cocktail/Bridesmaid Dress’ in light grey or pale yellow featuring a pleated detail and a cut-out at the waist for only £67. It’s a dress even Victoria Beckham may be jealous of. The prices are amazing – nothing over £70.

You can purchase Paisie items on several websites including the ASOS Marketplace, located here . The ASOS marketplace is an online boutique made up of indie labels, multi-brand boutiques and vintage sellers. Sizes and stock ranges are limited so if you see something you love, grab it as soon as possible!
