Vintage Fashion: clothing and accessories at least 25 years old – used garments with heritage, exceptional examples of period clothing, or clothing which still has commercial appeal, despite age, either commercially produced, or handmade by individuals. Exceptions to the age rule surround High End designer gowns.
One-of-a-kind pieces by designers such as Halston, Valentino, or Mackie can be honorably considered Vintage after two or three years!
Wearing Vintage provides an opportunity to enjoy beautifully made clothes that are individual, a unique piece of history. And Vintage is environmentally friendly, because it is a Re-Cycled Product!
The older the piece, the more likely it will display indications of its age. Signs of wear should be expected.
While condition is a main buying consideration for Vintage clothing, it is not as crucial for older items.
