Buying vintage is a unique opportunity to have a piece of history that no one else is likely to have. You are also helping to recycle and slow fast fashion down.
So you look amazing, unique and you also help save the planet!
Below is a quick guide with links to more detailed
information on how Strobe Vintage works.
Vintage:
All our beautiful vintage is hand picked, laundered and ready to ship to you.
Vintage means it has had a life before and it is not a new item, so please take this in to consideration before purchasing.
Please be aware that due to the nature of vintage it does mean that the item could be decades old and normally will have slight signs of ageing.
No vintage is perfect.
However we will take care to notify any signs of ageing, damages, repairs or flaws that the garment may have.

How do we get to our pricing:
This is a question as a vintage seller i get asked a lot and always seems a hard one for people to grasp.
Sourcing vintage is getting increasingly harder find. Hours and hours are dedicated to scouring the best vintage and takes an incredible amount of time. This is where most of my hours are spent.
I am not only a vintage seller but a garment restorer and a textile preserver. I collect historical pieces and getting these pieces into tip top condition takes time money and patience. I have specialists to mend pieces that i find too difficult or delicate to repair and this costs.
I also have dry cleaning costs.
The cost of electric to clean steam garments.
Studio costs.
Shopify fees
