What Makes it Vintage?

•  Single Tag

The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.

• Embroidered Tag

Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
