Online Vintage Retailer Profile: Vintage Vixen
Variety and Unworn Retro Clothes are Plentiful at This Online Shop
Jan 22, 2009
Vintage Vixen is a Florida-based online boutique that sells an extensive variety of vintage clothes and accessories for women, men, and children. For the shopper who does not want to wear “used clothing,” they also have a large selection of unworn vintage clothes that contain the original price tag. Prices on Vintage Vixen are comparable to both brick and mortar and online vintage shops with items marked somewhere between $25-$75. However, Vintage Vixen offers its shoppers a personal shopper service and expert advice regarding sizing and care of vintage garments.
What to Expect
Vintage Vixen is a store that is concerned with quality and customer service. Unlike some vintage retailers, it cleans and repairs its garments before they are sold. After ordering, your clothes may be given a touch-up press or steam and are neatly packaged. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you can return it by following their returns policy posted on their web site. They also have a section on their web site about how to properly clean and store your favorite vintage clothes.
For Guys and Dolls
Vintage Vixen has tons of clothes not only for women- but for the men too! Most notably, there is a variety of retro preppy wool sweaters; tuxedoes and formal wear; and stylish accessories.
Personal Shopper Service
Vintage Vixen offers a personal shopper service for its customers. Essentially, you can sign up to receive a personalized e-mail update of what vintage clothing and accessories you may be interested in purchasing that were added to their web site.
Vintage Clothing Sizes Translated
The Vintage Vixen’s staff has gone to great lengths to bring its shoppers extensive measurement and sizing information. All the clothing on their web site is listed in what would be the garment’s modern sizing equivalent. For example, if a dress from the 1950’s has a tag that says size 18, it would be listed as a size 12 by modern standards. Be sure to check out their “determining size” section of their web site where you will learn how to take your measurements.
Press Coverage
Vintage Vixen has been featured in national magazines and newspapers such as Cosmopolitan, U.S.A. Weekend, U.S. News & World Report, Elle, Seventeen, and In Style. They were also featured on television programs such as "SheCommerce" and "Music Search 2001."
Gift Certificates with No Expiration Date
If you are looking for the perfect gift for a fashionista who loves vintage clothes, gift certificates are available for any amount over $20. Plus, Vintage Vixen gift certificates do not expire.
