Finding the Right Clothing for You
Start building your collection of covetable and iconic vintage clothing today — no matter where you roam, there is a curated selection of designer dresses and gowns, sweaters, shirts, dazzling shoes and more on 1stDibs that will keep you covered in the hottest styles from head to toe.
From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement.
For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures.
Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond.
And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship.
Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods.
The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To authenticate real leopard fur, first examine the look and feel of the coat. Leopard coats are tawny, with the inside of the black rosettes being darker than the rest of the coat. Fake fur will feel rough and coarse, with real fur feeling smoother and softer.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The best way to tell if fox fur is real or fake is to feel the fur. While fakes can often look very real, they can’t replicate the feel of real fur. Fox fur is soft and smooth to the touch, easily rolling between the fingers. Blow on the fur to see if the base is a complicated pelt with hair growing in at different rates or the uncomplicated faux fur that features single hairs of a similar length. Shop a large collection of real fur garments from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Like any fur, real beaver fur is identified by examining the item closely. Real fur will be dense and soft to the touch. To determine if a material is real or synthetic, look at the lining to see if the material is uniform or coarse, indicating it is man-made, or smooth like suede leather, indicating it is a real fur hide. Closely examine the hair as well. Real fur strands will taper into a point, similar to a sewing needle. Experts recommend working with a furrier to confirm the authenticity of any fur item. Shop a selection of beaver fur coats on 1stDibs.
- Is real fur worth anything?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Yes, some real fur may be worth something. Factors that influence the potential value of fur include its garment type, the species of animal from which it was derived, its style, its size and its age. Condition also has a major impact on the selling prices of preloved furs. A certified appraiser or experienced dealer can help you determine how much your item may be worth.
