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 afterward. 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!

• RN#

The RN# on the tag can be used to identify the manufacturing company and even to approximate the date the clothes were 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!

• 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.
