What Makes it Vintage?

• RN#

The RN# on the tag can be used to identify the manufacturing company and even to approximate the date the clothes was made. As a rule of thumb, RN numbers of 6+ digits are from the ’80s or later, while RN numbers of 5 digits are from the ’60s and ’70s. (Credit to Sammydvintage.com) Try it out online!

• Made in Korea

Korea began rapidly industrializing in the 1960s, leading to US clothing importation coming primarily from Korea and Hong Kong until the 1980s. The shift away from Korean-made clothes to China, India, and Taiwan was not until this time. The more modern clothes from South Korea are known for their quality and style as well—Korean fashion brands use high-quality fabrics and clean cuts to balance vintage and modern styles.

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