    To tell if a t-shirt is vintage, first look at the neck label, where you can often find the maker's name. Researching the brand via trusted online resources can give you an idea of when the maker was in business and manufacturing tees like yours. To be considered vintage, a t-shirt must be at least 20 years old. If there is a graphic on the t-shirt, run your hand over it. Tees made in the 1980s or before usually have a textured graphic produced via screenprinting techniques, and the ink often formed cracks with wear and washing. If the graphic is pristine or has no raised feel, your shirt may be from the 1990s or 2000s. Because it can be difficult to date a t-shirt without experience and training, you may want to consult an expert, such as a certified appraiser or clothing authenticator. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage t-shirts.

    The meaning of vintage couture relates to apparel of a certain type and age. Couture is the shortened form of “haute couture,” an industry term that refers to garments that are custom-made for the wearer and the labels that create those garments. Haute couture houses are officially recognized by a French governing body called the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (the Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion). The haute couture label is misused and misapplied with frequency, but in the proper sense, haute couture refers to clothing created almost entirely by hand. Other rules underpinning the term have over the years focused on factors such as the number of workers an officially recognized haute couture brand can employ and more. The broader “vintage fashion,” which obviously encompasses much more than haute couture, refers to apparel and accessories that are at least 20 years old. In sum, vintage couture means high-end luxury pieces produced by officially designated haute couture fashion houses at least two decades ago. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of vintage apparel and accessories for sale.
