From Modern To Vintage

Generally the term vintage is referred to the cars, clothes and instruments of the previous decades.

For example, when you hear somewhere: “Oh, what a nice vintage tee shirt  you are wearing!”, you instantly understand that it looks like the clothes that were made during 1940-1980’s. Many of you (especially those people who are interested in the global fashion) will even be able to guess the year it was produced.

There are many people who are interested in what is so special about vintage clothes that people even today wear them and feel very comfortable. The reasons
are various:

Creativity – Vintage clothes include a lot of imaginative styles.

Quality – Vintage clothes were not designed for a one-time use. These clothes had such a good and high quality that they were even passed to the other family members.

Look – Vintage clothes provide you with a perfect and unique look because of one simple fact – they are all produced in small quantities. It means that two people will hardly ever wear the same clothes.

Investment – There are many people who buy vintage clothes not to wear them but to add them to their collection. Besides collecting vintage clothes, like
m65 field jacket or vintage T-shirts, has become one of the widely accepted hobbies for many people due to the low costs and high quality.

Celebrities’ choice – A lot of celebrities, like Julia Roberts, Kate Moss and other such Hollywood stars, wear vintage clothes. And this always keeps and gradually increases the interest of people towards these clothes.

Two days ago I was walking with my dog along the streets, when I suddenly noticed a group of boys and girls entering a disco club. But what attracted my attention was not the quantity of boys and girls or whether they were nice or not. It was the way they were dressed – they had all put on disco clothing, the clothing that we wore when we were 20-25 or more. I was so shocked and at the same time so happy to see that.

And when I told my husband about that, he looked at me profoundly and said: “Sometimes an old fiddle plays a better tune than hundreds of new ones and that is, what today’s youth is starting to understand”.

Rare and Beautiful Vintage Jewellery

Good vintage rings and other types of estate jewellery are known to keep their value for the long haul. And it’s not just that estate jewellery tends to be a very stable investment, there is also the added advantage of the wonderful bevy of styles it comes in — without exception you can find something to love. Antique or vintage rings, bracelets, and necklaces present an incredible array of gem choices, arrangements, and special period styles.

If you chance upon a piece that you admire and that holds real value, knowing that it’s capable of weathering the whims of fashion well is more than a reassurance. The fact of the matter is that good quality never goes out of style. What’s more, the value of quality vintage jewellery tends to accumulate securely because pieces possess inherent value and the number of their exemplars diminishes over time — the rarer a beautiful item is, the more desirable it becomes.
