Vintage Clothing
By Ceri Heathcote
Vintage clothing has become hugely
popular in the last few years as people
look for ways to get their own style,
customise their outfits and find
something a bit different from the usual
clothing available on the high street.
Vintage clothing is usually sold through
vintage boutiques or online through
online vintage stores or clothes
swapping or selling websites. Before you
begin to buy and sell vintage clothing,
you need to think carefully about what
you would like to achieve. Are you
hoping to make money by buying items and
selling them on at a higher price or are
you looking for beautiful pieces that
you can keep and treasure for ever.
If you are buying and selling vintage
for the purpose of making money, you
will need to research which types of
items and designers sell most easily and
for the most money. You will also need
to find some where to buy vintage
clothes at a very good price to allow
you to add money and sell them on. eBay
is an option although you will have to
pay a fee and you will be up against
many people when bidding for an item.
There is are also second hand clothes
swapping websites that allow you to buy
sell and swap clothes for free saving
you money.
If you are looking for vintage items for
yourself, you will need to consider
which designer styles you like or what
type of pieces you are looking for. It
can be difficult to get the right size
so if you are not visiting a shop where
you can try items on, be sure to take
your measurements and ask the seller to
give you the exact measurements of the
clothing. Remember to ask the seller
lots of questions including the
condition of the clothing, whether it
comes from a non smoking household, what
it is made of and details on the care
label. There are a huge variety of
vintage shops both online and off and so
it is definitely worth doing some
research and having a good look around
to find exactly what you are looking
for.

hand and vintage clothing.
Clothes swap and buying and selling
second hand clothes is a great way
to reduce the impact of fashion on the
environment and to save money.
