Vintage fashion has never been so popular. On the streets, on Instagram, in music videos or TV shows... yesterday's clothes have become today's cult pieces. But why this craze? And above all, how can you make the most of it as a retailer? Here's how.
A return to iconic pieces
Gone are the days of impersonal fast fashion. Young people are looking for authenticity, for brands with a history. Wearing a Champion sweatshirt from the 90s or a vintage Ralph Lauren jacket is a way of showing off a unique style... and a commitment.
The massive influence of social networks
TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest... all the vintage influencers are showcasing their finds. The result: an Adidas Originals piece or a mottled Lacoste sweater can go viral in a matter of hours. Vintage fashion then becomes a must-have trend.
An ethical and eco-responsible act
Buying vintage also means buying better. Less production, less pollution, more reuse. For many, it's a militant choice: to consume without contributing to textile overproduction.
An opportunity for smart retailers
This trend opens the door to a truly profitable business. With the right supplier, sorting and a bit of strategy, it's possible to generate several hundred euros a month, or even more.
