Some people are born with inherent great taste. The story goes that Marios and Maria met when studying at the acting school. A few years back they decided to open Memorabilia lovers and let the world share their taste and talent. Their artistic background is evident in the way they dress, the showroom decoration, and the clothes collection they carefully curate. The Memorabilia lovers showroom is located in a nondescript office building inside a gallery near Omonoia square.
Nothing can prepare you for the burst of colors when you enter the mezzanine studio: rich shades of blue and green, along with vintage furniture and paintings. The clothes are hand-picked vintage and second-hand findings from all over the world: Maria and Marios will help you integrate any item into your personal style. Memorabilia lovers also serves as a vestiaire for theater productions etc. They also offer unique handmade accessories, such as scarves and hair pieces. The fashion show they organized a few weeks ago was one of the most entertaining yet sophisticated events I have ever attended, so keep an eye on their social media for upcoming events. Even if you are not visiting Athens, the photos they post will be a colorful inspiration in any grey winter day.
