What Makes it Vintage?
- Dated
If you’re lucky like with this piece, there is a copyright year telling you exactly when the item was manufactured or the item is merchandise for a dated event!
- Made in USA
Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!
- Label Location of Manufacturing Country
The location of the manufacturing country on a modern label is usually behind the tag, not on the front like many 1980s and earlier labels.
Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
