Do
you have a store? Kinda. We rent space 333 at
BAM in Chicago. BAM is a co-op located at 6130 N.

vintage Monopoly or Candyland price tags or just ask
for Blonde Vintage.

body. We allow returns on all items over $150.00.

How
do you measure an item?
-
We
will list the vintage size if it is on the
label. Please remember in some cases the
difference can be up to three sizes
smaller. (Vintage 14 can equal modern day 10)
If we can, we will try to give you a modern day
size—but use only as a guide. Use our
measurements to ensure items will fit you. We
measure all our merchandise buttoned/zipped and
laying flat.
-
Bust is measured armpit to armpit. You must
double the measurement given to get the true
circumference
-
Waist and Hips measured side seam to side
seam. You must double to get the true
circumference
-
Length is measured from the back of the neck to
the bottom of the garment.
-
How
do you code the condition of your items?
-
Mint- No visible imperfections
-
Excellent- One or 2 barely there imperfections
-
Very Good- Few minor imperfections
-
Good- Shows some wear, but still has a ton of
life left in it.

How
often do you add merchandise and can you email when
you do? We add new items all the time. Due to
our “day jobs”, we cannot commit to a schedule.
Please check back with us frequently. We are insane
shoppers and try to spend a day a week finding new
items. It is an illness---we know…
-
When do you ship purchases? We ship once a
week. Sometimes we ship additional days but that
depends on our work schedule.
-
How
much is shipping and handling? Shipping on
purchases is free.

Do
you buy designer vintage items? If you have
sold some of your vintage treasures before you know
that you get pennies on the dollar. We have sold
items only to find them on a website for 10 times
what we were paid. To ensure we get the best
designer vintage items available, we have started
"Vintage Designer Consignment." How this works is
you email us pictures of designer vintage item/s you
want to sell. Please include a detailed description of
the condition of each item, size and
flaws/imperfections. We will email you back any
items we would be willing to consign for you and at
what price. We do an even 50/50 split. You ship us
the item at your cost. When the item sells, we will
send you a check within 10 business days for your
portion. Items that do not sell after 6mths will be
sent back to you COD for the shipping. If you prefer
we do buy some items outright- just let us know.
