I am really into the vintage goods. The first time I knew vintage was from one of my friends. Once she went to Japan and bought some delicate dresses which worked well and looked elegant. She posted some pictures of these dresses on Weibo. I asked her about those dresses and she told me they were vintages.
I bought one dress from her. The design and technology of the dress were different with present one. Maybe it was not as fashion as the present one which has many modern elements, but it represented bygone period. That dress made in 1990’s, Japan and it brought to me many memories of my mother’s youthful image. “Oh, it is so much like my previous dress!†When my mother saw the vintage dress.
Now I buy some vintage goods like dress and luxury bag very often. According to different era, the price is very different. One vintage wedding dress of 1920 should cost 8000 because the material and handwork are difficult to have in present era. And for vintage luxury bags, I think fashion and design are reincarnation, every year all the luxury brands lunch some bags which are retro. So some vintage bags are still fashion and special.
