Where to find the best vintage clothing

Shopping for second hand clothes can seem daunting if you don’t know where to begin. You want to be sure that what you’re getting not only looks good, but that it’s authentic, in good condition, and won’t cost as much as buying new.

Charity shops have always been a go-to for thrifty shoppers, with familiar clothing and new styles all waiting to be discovered at massive discounts. The problem is, you’re limited to shopping in whatever second hand or charity shops you have locally and to the clothes that they’ve been donated. You’re never sure what you’ll be able to find, which can end up being good or bad!

Shopping online for vintage gives you plenty of options as well as extra benefits. When you shop at on online second-hand specialist like Messina Hembry, you know that anything you buy is guaranteed to be authentic and will be in excellent used condition, with any flaws listed in the description.
