Shortcuts: Personal Vintage Shopper




Thrift and vintage shoppers have something to celebrate. Zeen asks shoppers a few simple questions about weight and height which filters curated finds for easy online vintage shopping. The measurements can be fine tuned, precisely tailoring the shops inventory for you. Sister-site Afinetooth.com also makes custom fit trousers in three contemporary styles.

One of the joys of vintage shopping is finding that jem wedged into racks of crap. Not sure this website can ever duplicate that...

Thom,

I appreciate the hunter-gatherer approach but there are also curated vintage shops that carry a specified batch of antique pieces that can be a pleasure to shop as well. You're right that this can't replace adventurous shopping trips but there is a sizeable market for those that value easy access. Its the difference between trailblazing roadtrips into wilderness with a detailed vacation cruise package. Apples and oranges.

Thrift shopping is like treasure hunting for me but I often end up buying a lot of things I really don't need but I'm not complaining. haha
