Tips for spotting true vintage pieces in vintage and thrift stores and online. In this second instalment of this series I talk about vintage labels, how to spot them, what it means if there is no label, and how to decipher labels. Once again, the key is really doing the research.

Thank you SO much for sharing your knowledge. I have been dabbling in vintage clothing and even though there are many people out there who have youtube videos about how to identify, you make it SIMPLE to understand. I sell mostly vintage housewares and decoration, but here lately I have had some fantastic opportunities to get some beautiful clothing, but I dont know yet what to do with it . My next task is learning how to measure them properly so that folks who buy them will know if they fit them or not. Learning the tags and dating them has been the biggest hurdle. Your videos are short, well done and right to the point. I fuggin love that! So helpful! Thank you for your time and your effort. Love your personality and holy cow you're absolutely gorgeous !! I am now off to binge watch all of your videos <3

Wartime utility labels such as CC41 in Britain are also a great pointer as to age, and vintage pieces made in the US will often have a union label sewn in that can help to pinpoint a year 🙂

Hi Bee, thank you for this great video! It is so very helpful. Where did you get your white blouse? Is it true vintage or reproduction? thank you.

What a lucky coincidence that I just came across this video - I am planning on hitting all the Vienna Vintage stores today, so I'm quite curious to see what I will come across with this in mind xD
Though I doubt that I'll find anything from well-known brands here...but then again, that's part of the fun of it, isn't it?

oh my god, your lipstick! I need to know what it is!

[rebeccaschadt]
