5 Things to Know Before Shopping Vintage

Shopping vintage is different — in the best way. Every piece has its own story, quirks, and charm.

Here’s what to keep in mind when you’re hunting for that one-in-a-million gem:

1. One size doesn’t fit all
Vintage sizing can be way different than today’s. Always check measurements (and reach out if you’re unsure!).

2. Flaws = character
A tiny imperfection doesn’t ruin a piece — it proves it lived a little. We’ll always disclose flaws, but think of them as part of the piece’s journey.

3. Don’t wait to buy
That piece you’re eyeing? It’s the only one. If you love it, grab it — it might not be here tomorrow.

4. Mix eras, not rules
There are no rules. Style 70s wide-legs with a Y2K crop top. It’s your look, your way.

5. Ask questions!
We’re here to help with fit, style tips, and more — because finding the right piece should feel fun.
