What is the difference between heritage and vintage?
The difference between heritage and vintage is that one term relates to a specific timeframe, while the other does not. Vintage is the term for any item that is more than 20 years old but less than 100 years old. Heritage refers to something that has historical or cultural value. When discussing fashion, people sometimes call pieces that have a long history heritage pieces, whether the brand manufactured them recently or 80 years ago. Find a diverse assortment of vintage apparel and accessories.
