Vintage eBay Stores

Note: Have in mind that the quantity of items in eBay stores vary from time to time. Some eBay stores "disappear" after ended listings and come back in the game a few weeks later with fresh vintage clothing.

Firefly Vintage Clothing
A huge collection of European/French vintage collection, from 18th-1970's. Their store started in 1973 and they claim that they have collected over 200,000 vintage pieces, but only small portion (10,000) have been listed in their eBay store. :-o You'll definitely find something that suits your taste and style! You'll find a mix of both affordable and expensive womens vintage clothing.

Totally love her wide selection of fashion jewelry. Low-priced yet unique items. She sells quality vintage jewelry by designers such as Trifari, Miriam Haskell and Lisner. You'll find vintage necklaces, bracelets, brooches and earrings.

Other Vintage Stores

Here you'll find handmade crafts by independent artists, but there are heaps of small shops that specialize in unique and reconstructed vintage clothing.

Rusty Zipper

It was the the web's first vintage store (opened in 1995) and holds today over 23,000 one-of-a-kind vintage clothing items from the 1940's through 1980s. It's definitely a must-look!

Vintage Vixen.com
Now may I say that they have one of the Web's largest vintage fashion selection. What I really like about their website is that they include washing instructions, rarity scale and wear recommendation in their item descriptions. In that way you can see how rare the piece is and if it's wearable (some vintage pieces are collectibles only). Plus, you'll know how to take care of the item.

They offer vintage clothes for both women, men and children at reasonable prices.

Drop by their site and discover the vast choices- ranging from day dresses, jewelry to underwear.

Some Like it Vintage.com
Their online store has a limited but great selection.

I like how colorful and cute their website is. It makes it a lot fun to shop! They also have a Fabric Care-section which gives nifty tips on how to wash and take care of your vintage garments.

Womens Vintage Clothing Offline

Flea markets and yard sales are excellent sources for old vintage clothing at low prices.

Make sure to get there early in the morning (preferably right before they open) and get your hands on the most popular vintage items. Once they're gone, they are gone. It's about getting there first.

And you can also stop by your local thrift store. There you can find shirts, skirts, jewelry etc. for just a couple of bucks.

What's a Thrift Store?

A thrift store is a shop where you can buy clothes, accessories and other stuff that other people no longer want. It's like a shop where people donate stuff they don't want without receiving any money for it.

Examples are Goodwill, charity shops.

Or how about something closer to home: Dive inside your mother's closet. You would never believe how many beautiful earrings I found in my mom's jewelry box. She inherited most of them from my grandma. That's two flies in one smack!

If you buy vintage clothes offline you have the chance to inspect the garments closely and check if everything's ok. You can also try it on to be sure.
