Vintage pieces in the past were hard to come by. You could spend hours exploring vintage shops around the city and while these adventures were fun it was always hit or miss. Now we are seeing more and more of them popping up on the online market. Whether it be on Gilt, Ruelala or on Therealreal a lot of people are selling their old pieces and I love it! When buying vintage I personally prefer to see it in person. Being able to touch and feel the product helps me to see its condition. On many websites vintage items can not be returned and that can sometimes make me nervous. This vintage Chanel black beaded and pearl necklace is one I “borrowed” while raiding my mother’s closet. I saw it and instantly fell in love! When wearing vintage items that most important trick to keeping them like new is putting them away properly. Many older treasures such as this are fragile and need to be handled with care. When putting away delicate jewelry for example you should always put it in the jewelry bag and box it came in. Yes this takes up some space which in a New York apartment is limited…but if you want your pieces to last its worth it.
