vintage

"Vintage" refers to items—such as clothing, furniture, or collectibles—that are at least 20 to 30 years old and are valued for their age, style, or uniqueness. These pieces typically represent a specific era and often have a certain charm or character that distinguishes them from newer items. Vintage items are appreciated for their quality, craftsmanship, and historical significance, often sought after by collectors or enthusiasts who enjoy preserving and showcasing pieces from the past. Unlike antiques, which are generally older (usually over 100 years), vintage emphasizes a sense of nostalgia and period-specific style.
