Vintage Vibes, the fashion-forward brand known for its repurposed and preloved clothing, officially opened its first permanent store at Five Valleys Shopping Centre with a vibrant DJ night that drew a crowd of shoppers, music lovers, and local supporters.
Founded by local entrepreneurs Helen and Matt Kloiber, Vintage Vibes has grown from quirky pop-ups in a VW van to a full-fledged store in the centre’s upper mall, next to Santander. The grand opening featured exclusive fashion drops, upbeat tunes, and a buzzing atmosphere that perfectly captured the brand’s unique blend of vintage charm and contemporary cool.
The store showcases a curated mix of sought-after brands like Nike, Stussy, Ed Hardy, and Carhartt, all with the distinctive Vintage Vibes aesthetic. The event marked a key milestone for the Kloibers, who thanked the Stroud community for their support.
Co-founder of Vintage Vibes, Helen Kloiber said: “Opening our first permanent store at Five Valleys with such a fantastic turnout was amazing. The DJ night was a great way to celebrate our new store opening.”
Matt added: “We are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve had from the Stroud community and we’re really pleased to have the store open and trading here in the town. We look forward to welcoming fellow fans of vintage and re-purposed fashion.”
Centre Manager Erica Malpass praised the launch, calling Vintage Vibes “a wonderful addition to our growing community of independent businesses” and noted the energy the DJ night brought to Five Valleys.
An extended Rough Hands coffee shop is set to open next door later this month, with two more businesses moving into nearby new office units, signalling a period of growth and renewal for the centre.
