About The eVintage Society

January 5th, 2008

In the spring of 2006, an idea that had been brewing took shape in the form of a seller’s collective, and eVintage was born. By collaborating on informational projects we create bonds of partnership within our community, helping each other develop and foster each of our unique online vintage businesses. With this new site we continue to grow and build our vintage fashion resources for everyone to enjoy.

We want to not only bridge the community between sellers, but between buyers and sellers too. We hope to entice you into participating with us in open dialog and conversation about vintage fashion. To share with us your stories, your passions about clothing, and why you’re addicted to vintage. Many of us come from a costuming or sewing background, and DIY, recycling, preservation, and reinvention of vintage clothing are all part of what we strive for.

I hope you’ll visit our members, shop with them, and get to know them. That you’ll chat with us, read our blogs, and find out what we’re all about. I hope that with the help of all the volunteers who make this project possible, that eVintage will ultimately become your favorite destination on the web for vintage clothing and resources!
