Here’s how to find designer treasures made to last.
When you’re planning out a concerted second-hand session, consider what you’re looking for. If you want a high concentration of designer or vintage goods, it’s better to head for affluent areas or specialist branches. The downside is that they know the value of what they’re selling, so the prices will be higher.
Garments hold lots of evidence about their provenance. If you’re seeking vintage pieces, knowledge not only of fabrics but also silhouettes and era-specific design details will help you date items – and sift out the copies from the originals. Whether it’s an ’80s padded shoulder and elasticated waist, or a ’60s mini with a plastic zipper , some basic fashion history knowledge will make it much easier to understand what you’re looking at. You can also go to town on the little clues.
