You’ve probably heard by now that shopping secondhand is good for the environment as your purchase isn’t adding anything to the world. While this is 100 percent true, there are so many other benefits worth mentioning. When you shop primarily current collection, you are looking at one season only. However, if you shift to pre-owned, your sartorial range multiplies exponentially. You basically have access to any collection from any season ever. Not to mention, you are typically scoring designer finds at a majorly discounted rate, especially when you steer clear of super trendy items.
All that said, the options are sometimes arduous and overwhelming. While we at Coveteur love a vintage treasure hunt, that may not suit everyone’s preferences nor their schedules. To ensure ease in your holiday shopping, we’ve rounded up our 23 favorite vintage fashion gifts from emerald statement earrings to luxe knits to leather clogs for your savviest friend (or yourself, of course!).
