VINTAGE

Vintage is a style that deliberately turns to authentic clothing of past eras (roughly the 1920s–80s), wearing original pieces of those times or new items styled after a specific decade. Unlike retro, which merely imitates old aesthetics, true vintage is real pieces with a history. A vintage look gives individuality and uniqueness, since such clothing can no longer be bought in the mass market, and it also carries the value of conscious, ecological consumption (a second life for things). Vintage lovers hunt for exceptional finds in second-hand shops and flea markets. This style combines nostalgia, respect for the craftsmanship of the past and the uniqueness of each piece.
