It is Vintage -- A look into retro fashion

Vintage clothing holds a specific time frame and is often associated with significant fashion eras, such as the roaring ’20s or the groovy ’70s. Second-hand clothing, on the other hand, encompasses a broader range of ages and may not carry the same historical significance.


Used cloths or Second-hand clothing encompasses a broader category that includes any previously owned garments. These can range from recently worn items to older pieces. Second-hand clothing can be found in various places such as thrift stores, consignment shops, online marketplaces, or through personal resale.


Pricing: Vintage clothing, due to its rarity and historical significance, often commands higher prices compared to second-hand clothing, which tends to be more affordable.


And it's true: vintage clothing can certainly be of a higher quality, but not by default. There are plenty of 70s polyester blouses circling the rails – but heavy duty fabrics such as denim are an especially durable presence in the industry. Buy carefully.
