    VFG members sell from many locations (in alphabetical order):
    • Brick & Mortars (face to face selling in a shop or at a show)
    • eBay
    • Etsy
    • Fashion Constellate
    • Poshmark
    • Ruby Lane
    • Website stores (Shopify, Square, SupaDupa and others)
    In an ideal world, the Vintage Fashion Guild would have a member-specific search engine, where you could type in your search terms and pull up every VFG Member listing that fits, from all across the web. We would love this too, and we have hopes that we will get there someday. But we have some progress to report.

    Gem.app is an online search engine that has been described as "the Google of vintage shopping". Their search crawls many of the sites where VFG sellers can be found, including Etsy, Ruby Lane, eBay, and lots of website stores.

    Gem searches by using the listing title. VFG sellers have started using "VFG" in their titles to help buyers find us via Gem. If you search VFG using the Gem app right now, you will find more than a thousand vintage fashion & accessory items offered by VFG sellers on Etsy, Ruby Lane, eBay, Poshmark, and independent websites. Members are adding more "VFG" titled items every day.

    And of course you can drill down to see what VFG members have listed by adding more search terms:
    VFG 40s dress
    VFG rhinestone earrings
    VFG Hawaiian

    Keep checking back as more VFG listings become searchable on Gem!

    The number of "VFG" searchable listings on Gem continues to grow - currently more than 1,500. It is fun to browse! Here's a sample of what I got with "VFG 80s party"
