Officials Luke Altmyer 9 Football Illinois Fighting Illini Shirt
Ask me who makes my dress/skirt/bag, and nine times out of ten, I’ll respond, “it’s vintage!” With a closet chock-full of ’50s, ’60s, and ’80s pieces, I’ve been able to suss out the best places to shop vintage online. Vintage die-hards might tell you that in order to get the good stuff, you’ll have to go offline. Generally, vintage dealers don’t e-tail. Plus, you need to touch, feel, and (most importantly!) try on your vintage before you give it a new life. But that said, there are corners of the internet that offer a trove of vintage. That is, if you know what you’re looking for. Just like the word “fashion,” “vintage” encompasses a lot. It’s loosely interpreted as clothing and accessories created 20 or more years ago. And to earn the label of antique, an item must have aged 100 or more years. At the time of print, anything prior to 2004 is indeed considered vintage, but the nuances don’t stop there. There is also resale, consignment, secondhand, and archival, which are all terms bandied about in the world of fashion PR to describe things that are not quite vintage, but on their way. Personally, I gravitate towards incredibly dated pieces, and to find those, I have to be strategic about where I’m shopping. While I love The RealReal, I’m not likely to find my ’60s ingenue summer day dresses there. Instead, I’ll find several seasons old Marc Jacobs for a steal. When I’m looking for museum-worthy pieces, I head on over to Shrimpton Couture. (And should I ever find myself hankering for a TikTok ’fit, then perhaps I’ll end up on Depop.)Officials Luke Altmyer 9 Football Illinois Fighting Illini Shirt
As it’s so easy to get lost in this space, below is a bit of a map (compiled with the help of Liana Satenstein) to help you find your vintage treasure. A breakdown of our favorite and best places to shop vintage (or secondhand) online, below. Last year, when fashion conglomerate Kering (parent company of Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta) invested a pretty penny in French resale site Vestiaire, it marked a turning point in the history of fashion. It’s been the tendency for brands to turn a blind eye to the secondhand market, but Kering joined in on all the action. Founded in 2009, Vestiaire calls itself a collective partly because the inventory is user generated, but also, there were six founders. What sets Vestiaire apart from a traditional resale platform is that Vestiaire acts as an authenticated middleman. Upload your Gucci bag to the site with your own photos. After it’s sold, you send it to Vestiaire to authenticate before it reaches its ultimate destination. Shoppers can expect all the designer labels they’re hoping for.
