Miss Bamboo has been a huge fan of Trashy Diva for well over a decade, having originally come across their New Orleans boutique on a USA trip back in 2002 and subsequently reintroduced to the brand by the lovely Caroline of Rose & Co at
Haworth 1940s weekend around the mid 2000's. From this time Miss Bamboo started building up her personal collection of what has become her all time favourite brand.

It really was love at first sight! The vintage inspired dresses are just beautiful, in fabrics such as rayon, silk and quality cotton poplins with the most amazing prints. Many are based on authentic vintage patterns from the 30s, 40s and 50s or vintage inspired but are all unique creations, made to fit modern figures.
Candice Gwinn designer and owner says "each piece (is) both timeless and ageless with inspiration taken from antique
and vintage clothing with a strong emphasis on feminine styles that
flatter a variety of body types. We strive to bring back fine details
that are rarely seen in clothing today. Most of our clothing is not
“hand made”, but you find that each piece has a one of a kind feeling.
You might see the clothing and think “vintage reproduction, but believe
me it is most often FAR from the case”. We base many of our styles on
vintage, but totally fashion each style to be above all else flattering-
which usually means weeks of refitting the garments and recutting
patterns."
When Miss Bamboo set up her online boutique
www.missbamboo.co.uk in 2011, the first brand she wanted to stock with a passion was of course Trashy Diva. She has since continued to bring the brand to the UK and European market and tends to carry one of the largest online collections as well as taking the beautiful dresses to many 1940s, 50s and rockabilly events within her pop up boutique. Miss Bamboo also sells worldwide of course with very reasonable shipping rates.
Miss Bamboo was thrilled to visit New Orleans and Trashy Diva in 2015, a dream come true.
