What Makes it Vintage?

• 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!

• 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.

• No care instructions

The US Federal Trade Commission mandated that manufacturers and importers of clothes include garment care instructions on clothing labels. If no care instructions are listed, it’s likely a vintage garment made prior to 1971.

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