When it comes to Black Friday, we’ve never been one for frenzies or half price flash sales.
As curators of antique and vintage homeware, The Urban Vintage Affair has always believed in celebrating craftsmanship, not cutting corners.
So this year, we’re marking the season in our own way, with a GIFT worth COLLECTING.
Introducing The Gift Affair our first-ever limited edition collectible coaster series, designed and made in the UK exclusively for our customers.
A New Kind of Black Friday Drop
Instead of discounts, we’re offering design by gifting every order over £75 a melamine coaster featuring an original design from The Urban Vintage Affair. Each piece is crafted in the UK by an independent maker, using high quality sustainable materials. This is a heat resistant melamine with a natural cork base, made to last through countless cups of tea, cocktails, and conversations.
With only a small run produced across four designs, they’re as limited as your favourite antique find and just as collectible.
Every two days from 24th November to 1st December, we’ll unveil a new design inspired by the themes we love most:
- Seals Flatlay: Antique Seals and Desk Accessories
- Plates: Victorian Patterned Plates
-
Brass Salvage: Decorative Brass Fragments
-
Silver Flatlay: Antique Silver Small Accessories
Each with our classic logo and brand inspired design, will be available for two days only, and once they’re gone, they truly are history.
Why We Created Them
We share the belief that the objects we live with should tell a story. These coasters are an extension of that, a new way to bring creativity and sustainability into the everyday.
They’re not mass produced or imported, they’re printed in small batches by an independent UK company that values durability, design, and craft as much as we do.
This small collaboration represents the principles behind The Urban Vintage Affair:
-
Support small UK makers.
- Choose sustainable craftsmanship over fast production.
- Ethical eco-friendly materials.
- Balance of function and style.
- Celebrate antiques every time you sip
