Are you NEW?? Introduce Yourself!! 2006-2014

Hello everyone!

My name is Daniele. I have been selling vintage fashion on ebay (boutique454.com) for over 6 years. I have been a member of VFG for about a year and thought I would stop by to say hello! There are a lot of great tips here, I wish I would have dropped by sooner! I am getting my degree is fine art, then I want to study sculpture, then I would love to get my masters degree in fashion design. I think that selling and restoring vintage clothes has taught me a lot about the technical and aesthetic design of fashion.

PS

Thanks Linda for finally getting me on the boards, they are great!

 

Daniele!!:party:

Great to have you here!! Just post away, talk, have fun, ask questions.

We are a friendly group.

Hey, I didn't know you were from Chicago. I am from Southern Illinois myself!

 

Daniele from over the pond!

Good to see you on the boards

 

Hi Daniele!

Welcome Danielle!

Hello Stacy!

I just did your survey (I love anything like that) and have left my contact details if you want to quiz me any more. Sounds like a very interesting dissertation indeed, am sure you'll get lots of answers here

I love Bernat Klein! Though probably you won't be wearing it in this heat... I'm sure your collection will grow very rapidly if it's anything like mine, which sort of took over!

Welcome, anyway :D

 

Hi folks! Senti directed me here. I'm interested in 60s mod fashions, the 20s, and anything from Hollywood's golden age. Nice to meet you all!

 

Hello!

 

Oooh, welcome Jen, glad you've decided to join in so soon!

Jen is the one that sent me the *fabulous* Fashion SWAT link by the way.

love, moons and starrs,

Hi Jen, Stacy and Nicole. Welcome!

Hello and Good Morning,
I just registered having found a link to this site in an old email message. I keep everything. Anyway I am looking to expand my vintage clothing business to the web and think this site would be a wonderful outlet. I have a website featuring reproduction items. I was looking for your Reproduction Categories to view what other members had for sale and could not locate it.
Anyway I was just checking into hear comments about your experience being on this site and how well you do.
Does anyone have the traffic count?
Take care and hope to hear from many of you soon.
I am so impressed with the information on this site as well. Good job to one and all who has contributed.

We don't really have a "reproduction category" as this isn't a selling site, though you are welcome to start a discussion on the topic if you would like to talk about it.

While a member may occasionally have a reproduction for sale, our members by and large deal exclusively in genuine vintage as that is our focus and purpose here.

You can visit individual member selling sites off of this page:

There is also a "sneak preview" forum on this chat board where you can items that members preview.

Hi Diane and welcome. Glad to have you here. I don't believe any of us deal in reproductions but we can sure help you out on your vintage clothing!

 

Hi again,
I know I read some where the mention of reproduction categories but of course when I went back to find it I couldn't. My main intention was to start selling my vintage and being a part of this group
Do you do well off of this site-the Guild appears to be exactly where I need to be.

We were talking some time ago about making sure reproductions were in reproduction categories on ebay, and not mixed in with regular vintage as it misleads the buyer.. Maybe that was the mention? Not sure.

At any rate, welcome to the site!

To answer your question, many of our members have very successful businesses

 

Hello Dianne, and welcome!

Do you have an offline store currently then? Sounds interesting!

 

Hi,
I did have have a space in an antique mall but its hard when you aren't there all the time and people just love to mess up the clothes, so I am movin to the web. I do have a site selling historical reproductions but have been collecting vintage for decades and looking forward to being on this group to sell as well as of course to buyl.
I am really looking for vintorian edwardian clothing. Most of the vintage I am going to start parting with is 50-80's
Dianne

 

Well, I love 50s and 60s so will look forward to seeing what you have.

 

I\'m a new to the site and would like to introduce myself.

My name is Marge and I own Born Too Late Vintage over on Main Street Vintage. I've been interested in vintage clothing for quite a while but made my first vintage purchase 2 years ago. I've been patiently learning more and more as time goes on. I had a store briefly on Ebay but decided that it was not a good fit and found another home. Currently I have applied to be a member here and am in the process of doing what I need to fulfill those requirements.

I've been using the label resources here since the beginning of my vintage adventure. I hope to visit often and hope I can sometimes offer some help.

 

Hi Viviene/Marge

Welcome!
