Thank you for calling 1-800-VINTAGE.
Please listen carefully to the following options. If any of these apply, you’re in the right place.
You have a lot of opinions about the vintage industry, secondhand shopping, and which “uncool” mall brands people are sleeping on in the thrift store.
You would watch a movie on mute just to admire the costumes.
You can’t stand people who roll their eyes at you for “making fashion about politics” because you know you’re not making anything about anything - it already is.
You’re on a first name basis with your tailor.
You have to suppress the urge to scream when you hear people say “everyone was just smaller back then!” in a vintage store.
Your goal in life is be to able to correctly identify the era of any vintage piece on the fly, even in the most rural, no-service-for-miles antique mall.
You’d rather get your fashion inspiration from tiled bathrooms of the 1930’s, Whoville, and old issues of FRUiTS Magazine.
You’re the friend that gets the panicked text asking how to remove a stain from a treasured vintage sweater.
You pack light solely to have more luggage space for all of your secondhand finds.
You would pass on a great deal just because the seller used AI generated product images in the listing.
