After digging through Goodwill's racks for an hour, I came away with a women's 100% wool Pendleton coat with no missing buttons, rips, or stains. It fit me perfectly, and I got it for six dollars!

I was so fortunate to he born in 1973. I had a great array of ladies (and men) around me with fantastic taste in clothing. I loved cloths and dressing up. Today, I am a very savvy vintage shopper and can put an outfit together like no other! I can see, feel, and smell vintage. I just simply finds Me.

Making notes for future me (: Wilson's - good leather Union sticker - deep in the garment Lot number - manilla tag Google & study popular trends/brands from your decade Pendleton brand

I've been trying to buy natural fibers at thrift stores more and I'll literally just go along the sweaters just feeling them all. Last time I went I found a silk and cashmere cardigan and sweater set for $8 this way. You cant always be 100% positive by feel, but it narrows down the tag checking.

the earrings are fantastic and you offered such valuable info!

Thank you for the awesome 🤩 tips!

I literally smelled the Wilson's leather store when you talked about it. Mall rats never forget!

You remind me of Lorelei Gilmore haha. Also thank you for the awesome video!

Thank you for the video!!

I’m a new Sub. When I see vintage at goodwill my heart melts

Great video. Here in the UK we don't have thrift stores generally, mainly charity stores.🇬🇧

your videos are so helpful and so cute thanks for sharing your tips!

Thank you Pip! I retired four years ago and I am having so much fun thrifting! Your channel has been very helpful! My goal is to have a champagne wardrobe on a Two Buck Chuck budget (don't drink beer, ergo the wine reference lol) Thanks again and all best! I look forward to your upcoming videos!

Omg tysm for this video it really helped me out hope to find a hysterical glamor top or Ed hardy or Harley Davidson❤️

Amazing

My first job was at Wilson's, Lakewood Mall, CA, 1980-something. Don't skip over red. There was a "tomato red" color that was very popular around 1981. Look at any heavy metal album cover from that period. I would also suggest paying attention to old movies, TV, album covers, videos, etc.

Thank you for posting! You gave great tips!

GREAT information even tho its 4 years later, and since the current fashion trends are 1970's to 1990's right now this video is relevant to people reselling or buying because its easy to mistke a lovely item that is actually RAYON thinking its actually polyester and newer. The other thing I find is that the nicer items have care instructions that are written and not necessarily the current standard care symbols and a lot of vintage items from those era's were also "dry clean"...so there's another label indication of how old a lot of the fake or vegan versions are actually washable. I appreciate the tips, especially on "union made", I just realized that whether its designer brands or not, some of the clothing that I am seeing recently after finding a "second label" were made for better Department stores that now don't exist anymore or if they do not on the scale the once dominated. Glad I ran accross your channel while researching my current vintage clothing for resale thanks for the information.

great tips, new to thrifting vintage

Country of manufacture can also help. European countries, USA, Canada, If a garment is made there, it is most probably vintage.

This is super helpful!

That was actually great advice! Thanks :)

This was great

Thanks a lot for this video.

Anyone know about ambrozzio made in Italy? I have a white coat with what I believe to be 24k gold weaving but have nothing comes up online. I also have a full coat from original shearling.

Very helpful!!! I am rather new at thrifting and noticed people passion for vintage.I was wondering if its the quality or uniqueness they are after? Or both?Just curious and trying to learn❤

Liked your video. I have a question: I have collected a lot of designer labels. Do you have an ideas on what to make with them to sell? Thanks.

Would a union skirt in a super small size be worth picking up

I'm curious where you live. Those are great thrift prices.

Is it hard to sell vintage items that don’t have label??

I found a cute vintage vest at the thrift store but it was too small for me which made me sad :(

So if it has a lot number it’s vintage ? 😊

And how about true vintage clothes but from China, would that be something to easily sell ?!

This is great but it makes me so sad to see that being union made is a sign of vintage clothing 😢

It is very hard and tiresome. I have found 5 new vintage dresses so far and all the dresses privé around $500-1000 dollars. My husband wonder why it takes me so long at the thrift store. I’m there atleast 7 hours at the least
