A Message From The Founder

“Hi, Im Kory and I’m the founder of The South East Emporium! I grew up in South East London and therefore it holds a special place in my heart, hence my company’s name! I started my business through my love of all things vintage, retro and quirky.

I love sourcing and curating collections of bold, vibrant and funky vintage homewares. I have been trawling vintage and antique shops, flea markets and other businesses alike all over the world since I was a teenager. From thrift stores in New York City to antique shops in France (I LOVE French glassware!). I have collected so many amazing and interesting items over the years from paintings to vases to clothing to beautiful hand blown glassware and everything in-between. I find it fascinating the pieces that you can find out there in the world when you look hard enough. I am now trying to turn my passion into a business, so I hope you enjoy browsing my shop!”
