What makes it Vintage?

5 things to look for when shopping vintage 

Have you ever wondered what makes clothing or an accessory "vintage"?

Here are 5 tell-tell signs:

1️⃣ Check for shoulder pads. It gets tricky because some new pieces have them. 

2️⃣ Look for tags that may have “union made.”

3️⃣ Style of garment.

4️⃣ The tag and style numbers, this is usually marked behind the original tag of clothing.

5️⃣ The label font. If you see a label with the same brand name as a modern manufacturer but with a different design than the modern label, it’s probably VINTAGE!
