I wouldn't really call it vintage, but I buy a lot of clothes on Ebay and Poshmark. Some are a lot cheaper! I buy Johnny Was on Ebay and the bargains are great. Just make sure you can return it if it does not fit. I have no problem paying for return shipping when the item itself is $100 or more less than retail cost. Also, It is a great way to find things that you passed up a few years ago in the store at full price.
Agreed, I've found some amazing deals on eBay and Poshmark. ThredUp is great too, and for fancier stuff, definitely The Real Real. Local consignment shops are also really good if you prefer in-person shopping—places like Crossroads and Buffalo Exchange are fun for treasure hunting 🌟.
I work a small retail/hospitality company - clothing, food, restaurants & inns. (My boss believes in diversification). Many of our clothing brands were bringing product into the US prior to Inauguration Day to avoid the inevitable.
Thanks for putting this together! Speaking of buying vintage-I have recently become obsessed with the Book Laundry Love by Patric Richardson. He has so many good tips but he talks a lot about how you can shop vintage without worry about stains with his tips. He’s also big on never dry cleaning again and I recently took the plunge and washed a few of my “dry clean only” items with good success!
Ooh, I will have to check that out. Now I am kicking myself for passing on this gorgeous embroidered silk vintage dress that I saw on Saturday—it had a few stains I was worried about. Thanks for the tip!

I'd like to think most companies had the foresight to do that—that's incredibly smart!
