Rokit

Rokit is a chain of four high street retail vintage clothing[1] shops in London that specialise in second hand clothing fashions.[2]

History

Rokit began in 1986 with a market stall in Camden Market, London. Rokit expanded to operate four London stores, two in Brick Lane,[3] one in Covent Garden[4] and one in Camden.[5]

Notoriety

Rokit is used as an unofficial theatre costumier [4] by some, and is notable for having featured by stylists in multiple national newspapers and magazines including Vogue, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent and Grazia[6] including the BBC's Fearne Cotton.[7]
