How it Works
From Warehouse to Your Wardrobe: The Demand Vintage Journey
Ever wondered how a vintage piece goes from forgotten to featured on our site?
Here's the full story, step by step.
Sourcing
Our team travels to vintage suppliers, warehouses, and trusted collectors across the UK and Europe. We're not looking for bulk lots – we're hunting for standout pieces.
What we look for:
- Timeless brands: Carhartt, Levi's, Nike, Adidas, Champion
- Quality fabrics: Real cotton, wool, denim that lasts
- Unique styles: 70s, 80s, 90s, Y2K pieces with character
- Wearable condition: Items that still have life left in them
Handpicking
Not everything makes the cut. Each garment is inspected by hand before we even bring it back.
We ask ourselves:
- Is the fabric still strong?
- Does it have authentic vintage character?
- Would we wear this ourselves?
- Can it be cleaned and restored to wearable condition?
If the answer is yes, it moves to the next stage. If not, we leave it behind.
Cleaning
Every item that passes inspection gets a thorough clean. We wash or dry clean based on the fabric type, then air-dry everything to preserve quality.
This isn't just about hygiene – it's about bringing the piece back to life. A good clean can reveal hidden colors, soften stiff denim, and refresh forgotten favorites.
Grading
Once clean and dry, we grade each piece using our transparent 4-level system:
This grading ensures you know exactly what you're buying. No surprises, no disappointments. Learn more about our grading system.
Photography
We photograph every item in natural light, showing the true color, texture, and condition. No filters. No tricks.
Each listing includes:
- Multiple angles (front, back, close-ups)
- Detailed measurements (chest, length, sleeves)
- Condition notes (any marks, fading, or wear)
- Styling suggestions
Listing
The item goes live on our site with full transparency – grade, measurements, era, fabric details, and our honest assessment.
Your Order
When you place an order, we double-check the piece one more time to ensure it's exactly as described. Then we pack it carefully and ship it out.
