what is vintage

Vintage is a term used to describe items that are not new and are from a previous era. While the term "antique" refers to items that are 100 years old or older, the definition of vintage is more subjective. Most antique dealers consider an item to be vintage if it is at least 40 years old. The term can be applied to clothing, jewelry, furniture, and decorative objects, among others. Vintage items are valued for their sense of history and can be found in local boutiques, charities, or online marketplaces. Retro, on the other hand, refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era.
