La Corte: Vintage as Good as New

One of the greenest ways to consume, as we always say, is to buy vintage. But most times, vintage stores are not as cool-chic as a design shop, tempting you with new products. Now, what if you could shop vintage in a cool environment? That we think is the plus for La Corte store, located in an elegant corner in Nicaragua and Arevalo streets, in Palermo Hollywood neighbourhood, Buenos Aires. Though some of you may not be that vain to consider the shop’s aesthetic when buying, think about a person that’s not into sustainability, or an alternative for a present to someone that wouldn’t appreciate used stuff. Well, point those people in this direction, as La Corte sells decoration objects recovered and developed with recovered materials by a group of artisans. You can find libraries made with old wood, bath objects, and restored lamps, all of them from their original raw materials and with their natural aging. ::La Corte Vintage ::How to Green Your Furniture
