What Makes It Retro?

Clothing is considered vintage if it was manufactured 20 years or more ago. This item just misses the cut, but give it a few years! Here is what indicates that this item is retro and not yet vintage:

• Made in Vietnam

Policy and trade shifts in the 1990s led to the US fashion industry to manufacture a majority of clothes in China as well as other Latin American and Asian countries.

• Double Tag

The double tag was common by the end of the 90s.

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