Vintage Style Is Here To Stay
The definition of 'Vintage' has taken on a life of its own and buyers are eating it up.
Online, October 11, 2012 (Newswire.com) - A steady rise of vintage inspiration has been happening in everything from furniture to fashion, and people are quick to catch on to this steadfast trend.
Businesses are catching on to the resurgence and shappy chic and retro items are getting harder and harder to find at the prices that made them so popular when vintage lovers started building the trend.
Many retro lovers complain that the popularity of vintage has caused problems. Thrift stores and charity shops have caught on and so have other buyers.
Initially, buyers flocked to second hand stores to pick up pieces to restore and refinish because that was what they could afford. This evolved into finding distressed pieces that held special vintage feels to complete retro home looks and fashions.
Despite the challenges of seeking on bargain deals, it appears that vintage and retro is still on the rise.
It's important to define what exactly vintage is now that the market has become so saturated with buyers. Vintage is most often defined as high quality products from the past like designer items and classic automobiles, but the phrase has been transformed into a catch all phrase for anything that looks retro or dated, even if the item is brand new.
Buyers also find it difficult to incorporate vintage styles into their modern aesthetic in a comfortable way. Many of the clothes made in the 50's and 60's were made of uncomfortable or unforgiving fabrics. Modern shoppers who still love the vintage style often seek out clothing company's that fashion vintage styles out of modern fabrics to flatter their figures and provide comfort.
Fashion houses like Bettie Page Clothing are leading the pack in vintage and retro fashions for modern women. Buyers love the retro appeal and the affordable prices.
