How to Buy Vintage Clothing

Notes From a Vintage Buyer
After Purchasing Vintage for over 1o years for over 35 different accounts. R. Hailey tells us a tid bit of what she learned.


Finding Vintage Clothing for your store, stall, or shop can be very difficult if you have a limited market. The best Vintage Clothing Buyers out their understand this and do not develop a market only selling the rare hard to find pieces, but a large selection of styles. The Vintage store of the past is log gone, no more Mom & Pop clutter shops. The Vintage stores of the New Generation are much more geared toward a larger audience. Instead of having 5 vintage tee's, 10pair of Vintage Levi's, a couple of vintage cords, 25 vintage dresses, a bunch of different hats and a bunch of Hodge podge, buyers need to focus towards a large audience. The talented vintage buyers pick ten items, then supply anywhere between 100 and 500 pieces of these items for their potential customers to pick from. This way the customers will definitely find something in their size and desired style. The buyer has a reputation of having a great supply of affordable vintage, and the collectors can keep on collections. Unless you want to spend the rest of your money making days in border towns wearing a dust mask and knee pads, new vintage buyers should focus on what it is they are actually trying to achieve.
