Vintage fashion consumption has become more relevant in the last decade, however, it is necessary to differentiate between the different types of stores that are included within this umbrella. Because beyond the establishments where it is possible to buy garments by weight or the markets, there are a number of firms specialized in the matter that offer authentic stylistic unicorns. Shops and spaces that have turned their vintage fashion offer into a careful selection of unique pieces or directly a collection of garments belonging to haute couture houses.

It is precisely this other class of options that have managed to carve out a more differentiated niche in the wardrobe of many of the usual fashion prescribers, who through their daily outfits introduce -increasingly assiduously- vintage or second hand. In fact, vintage fashion is undoubtedly a sustainable alternative to recurring fashion consumption, but also a way of differentiating ourselves from the rest through a unique style that is difficult to imitate.

It may be for this reason that the Danish women -so much theirs and with such their own style- make up one of the groups that most often appear with this type of pieces, although more and more Spanish women also find this other fashion consumption a response to your aesthetic needs. That is why we have prepared a list of the stores and firms that have managed not only to succeed in the difficult business of vintage fashion, but have also conquered a good handful of prescribers along the way. So without further ado: these are the vintage stores where the most knowledgeable shoppers.

PALOMA VINTAGE

Danes have been at the forefront of trends for years and their knowledge of vintage is not far behind: from Yves Saint Lurent collections from the 80s to unique Chanel pieces, including romantic dresses or sweaters that really warm you up. Nothing resists them when it comes to taking advantage of original garments from other times, which they know how to update like no one else. And among all the vintage corners of Copenhagen, one in particular captivates those who know the most. Your name? vintage pigeon. An authentic time machine capable of transporting us with the same solvency to the 60s as to the 80s, which has already conquered names such as Leandra Medine, Thora Valdimars or Emili Sindlev. Their very careful selection of pieces are not only appetizing in themselves, but the outfits they propose on their website and networks are just as inspiring. The definitive proof that luxury does not age and that authentic style is timeless.

JEROME VINTAGE

But the Scandinavians do not live only from Paloma Vintage. Jerome Vintage is another favorite pilgrimage mecca for, for example, model and retro fashion maven Caroline Bille Brahe. Among its many attractions is being able to sign vintage pieces that seem to be taken from the latest collection of the best designers (the dress in the image is just one example), but also garments with liberty prints or romantic blouses. An authentic exclusive and minimalist boutique in which its pieces are exhibited like authentic treasures in the style of the most exclusive showrooms. The good news happens because, like Paloma Vintage, it is also possible to buy online without, of course, the luxury of touching and tasting the pieces live and direct.

FRIPERIE VINTAGE

And in Spain there is also room for specialized spaces that treat vintage as a true luxury. Right in the center of Madrid is Friperie Vintage, the mecca for old school jeans that we have already talked about on many other occasions and in which its owner, Xin, is in charge of selecting the best models and designs of vintage jeans. Among her most famous fans are names like Mónica Anoz or Lucía Rivera and, in short, all the connoisseurs who are looking for jeans with the perfect fit. The best thing is that for some time now they have diversified their offer and today it is also possible to come across original 90s lingerie dresses, Burberry trench coats or Lacoste sweaters. Let yourself be advised or, if you cannot attend in person, ask through their social networks. Every month they make online sales with real treasures.

OSB VINTAGE

And if Friperie is the pinnacle of vintage denim, OSB does the same with jewelry. His exquisite pieces are not only recurring in the fashion editorials of this header, but fashion prescribers of the stature of Blanca Miró come to them with the same assiduity. From chain belts (like the one in the image), to earrings that will make a difference. Unique creations that are difficult to find that also offer really competitive prices on brands such as Givenchy, Kenzo or Nina Ricci. Why inherit the jewelry box you've always wanted when you can create it yourself?

ESTY

And although it's not a proper store, we couldn't forget about Etsy. Because although platforms such as Vestiaire Collective or The Realreal are among the easiest and most common options when it comes to buying a second-hand design piece, the American website Etsy works as a marketplace in which private sellers offer their best finds. That is why it is easy to find more affordable prices than in the rest of the specialized websites and with certainly exclusive garments. American influencers like Jenny Walton or Alyssa Coscarelli are just some of the fans of this vintage purchasing method and, judging by their business success, they are not the only ones.
