Does vintage mean used?

1 Answer
Does vintage mean used?
No, vintage doesn't mean used. Vintage generally refers to pieces that are at least 20 years old. Due to their age, many vintage items were previously used. However, you can sometimes find vintage clothing, accessories, furniture and other items that still retain their original tags and show no evidence of previous use. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of vintage furniture.
