Description
We are currently operating in a pre-scaling phase, during which the scope of our vintage archive has expanded beyond what can be listed at human speed. Only a token fraction of the inventory is visible online, not for lack of supply, but because an inconvenient commitment to perfectionism. The practical solution is to request access to our Google Drive. There is, incidentally, an upside to this arrangement: direct access, special attention, preferred pricing, and quantity-based considerations. New drops are added to the Drive on a daily basis, ensuring ample selection. All that is required is a reference to the image IDs. From there, we provide an elevated level of service. Bundles are where the value appears; the more pieces, the more flexible the pricing. After a half-decade sabbatical from fashion, I'm cautiously resurfacing & I felt it was time to reconnect. I moved to Europe a few years ago & began collecting vintage with the field discipline of an anthropologist & the denial of a high-functioning hoarder. I currently have over 100,000 pieces sitting in a warehouse, because moderation has never been my strong suit. What began as compulsion is now a side project. I'm firmly in the pre-revenue chapter of the memoir-500 sales, & high morale. The broader archive skews larger, stranger, & more historically pointed-East & West German rarities, bureaucratic glamour, Soviet institutional wear, industrial archaeology-rich in Trevira, Diolen, Terylene & mid-century state textile programs, & an elegy in garments from the DACH region & beyond. The collection is mostly a Cold War capsule wardrobe, institutional tailoring, state-issued, regional cooperatives & rural ateliers, white labels from the department store era, exceptional knitwear, socialist leathers, the zenith of Parisian fur craft, selectively preserved tweed skirts, rare 1960s mod, exaggerated '70s collars, German-cut blouses, unusually constructed denim, essentially the entirety of the 1970s, when even institutional garments had the decency to be well made. If integrity were woven, you'd find more of it in a 1978 poly-wool blend than in most of today's designer runways. Eventually, this evolves into a full-scale operation-complete with the token NYC storefront for aesthetic credibility. Given that about 70% of you are ordering from New York, it seems reasonable to ship our 50 pallets there & open a labyrinth of "true vintage" to get lost in. Scaling, of course, requires capital. I'm well aware that most of you don't have any, but statistically speaking, out of the millions who drift through here, it is statistically probable that one of you possesses both interest & solvency. Type us into Google. Everything is there, including a contact form. What's on offer now- early equity at a materially discounted valuation-is both sincere and short-lived. SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY ...If you're sensing that this piece is underpriced, congratulations, that assessment is accurate. As such, the number you see is already the floor. Origin: Bavaria Size: S Fabric: Knit Material: Virgin Wool Measurements (cm) Chest: 42 Length: 54 Shoulder: 36 Sleeve: 54 One minor clarification seems necessary: on eBay, "Vintage" tends to imply garments that have endured a meaningful span of wear and tear. To eliminate any potential ambiguity, I'm adding an explicit disclaimer that the majority of these items are, in fact, new, unworn deadstock. This contextual cue should help orient users who are accustomed to encountering authentically fatigued clothes. One additional clarification seems necessary, given the ongoing confusion eBay manages to cultivate around U.S. orders from Europe under Trump's tariffs: contrary to the eBay disclaimer, it's the Europeans taking the hit here, not the Americans. So, to answer the recurring question about U.S. import fees: we've already covered the tariffs through our postal carrier. Your parcel arrives fully cleared; any bureaucratic bloodletting has already been performed on our side of the Atlantic.
Both of the coats packaged together arrived yesterday. They are very beautiful and in fantastic condition especially for vintage coats! The packaging could have been better as I had the ‘arrived damaged’ sticker from USPS on them since the bag had a tear but the items themselves were intact. Communication with seller was great and they kept me informed of the process. Please ebay release the payment for the untracked item.
Very happy with the product exactly as described fantasy condition well packaged postage was in good time given it was so close to Christmas will be buying from this seller again if anything comes up
Item arrived as described, and arrived relatively quickly considering it was an international order. The sizing was absolutely perfect for me!
