    This made me happy! On Instagram: "How have I not known about this gem?? Learned about this today from @rebelriotvtg at a virtual reseller event. I'm kinda geeking out just a little bit."

    Sept. 7 "Denisebrain" was quoted at the end of a Huff Post article, "How to Find the Best Thrifted Items. According to Professional Thrifters."

    Here's how Maggie appears in the article:

    Online Resources
    Another person who takes thrifting very seriously is Margaret Wilds, vice president of the Vintage Fashion Guild. “Just gazing down a row of thrift shop clothing — with all the variety — is so much more exciting than looking at a row of monotonous new clothing,” she said. Her advice for newbies: “I highly recommend the guidance you can find on our website. Even when you’re out shopping, you can use the Label Resource for an idea of the era and notoriety of a label, and once you get home, there is a lot more to look at such as the Fabric Resource and the Care and Cleaning guide. There are active public forums where you can ask questions and VFG members can help.”

    Finally, she offered these words of wisdom: “Don’t buy something because you just kind of like it and it’s a good deal. Buy it because it makes your heart sing, and ask yourself if you would regret leaving it behind.”

    I loved having the last word on HuffPost!

    We've had some spikes in traffic during the past month, and I think these may have helped:
    Sammy D updated her post "How To Identify Vintage Clothing Labels In A Thrift Store"
    https://sammydvintage.com/thrifting/vintage-clothing-labels-tips/
    She features our Label Resource.

    "How To Identify Authentic Vintage Clothing"
    https://collectinsure.com/2023/08/03/how-to-identify-authentic-vintage-clothing/

    Another library reference:
    University of Washington Costume & Textiles online resources cites the VFG:
