What is vintage style

Top student recommendation for a "Posh Girls Christmas Present" Ralph Lauren "Vintage style" jumper on Tik Tok.
As a man unless too fat, I wear all my clothes until they are either rags or dog bedding, so explains the vintage style. As lack of use able stock, too gets ones hands on.
I guess this then leads on to reproduction antiques, and making items affordable and accessible. We try hard to have no reproduction @topbananaantiques we do have lots of vintage, genuine vintage.
What I find really interesting is high street firms in all fields constantly copy antiques, Asos buy antique and vintage clothes send to Thailand and mass produce them, Wayfair and Laura Ashley all copy antiques and mid century items for design and look.
If you saw how much vintage and second hand goods end up as landfill you would despair. The vast majority and antiques and vintage couldn't be made for the cost they sell for. Antique and vintage glass is crazily inexpensive and if not manic about sets, easy to get pairs and sets of 4 and mix and match, quality mixes well with quality.
We recycle as much as we possibly can when we clear a house, clothes , metal wood glass even plastic where we can. let alone regularly donating to local charities. With more modern item etc.
