\"In general, the retro choice online is unmatched in breadth and depth, making it an obvious place to start looking for this special item from past times or foreign cultures.
\"The international aspect of online shopping makes it possible to find something difficult locally,\" Mesbur said . \".
\"It\'s like, I\'m a little obsessed with the Retro Japanese mibao jacket, it\'s super
It is difficult to find available items online through several international sellers.
\"And, it doesn\'t hurt to set up very specific digital alerts for the specific clothing or trends you appreciate.

Do research in the second phase
Hand market, doing a little due diligence will help you to buy goods more wisely and avoid fake and fake goods.
\"There\'s a lot of information online about how to discover fakes if you buy an antique that\'s supposedly a designer, mesbur said: \"There are even some guides on eBay detailing how to spot fake versions of designer merchandise.
\"When shopping
Have designer label items, buy from reputable sellers who run authentic pre-owned goods.
Although you can check the authenticity of the card and the original purchase receipt, it is not all the pre-
\"There are always these items in possession, which does not mean they are untrue,\" Yoo explained . \" Not all third-party certified companies have the same credibility, he added.
\"When purchasing online, make sure you are protected by the guarantee of authenticity and can contact the seller.
For example, if you buy from a larger platform like Ebay, the buyer has recourse if the item is not true, \"Yoo said.
\"Independent and reputable retailers also offer the same [protections].
\"In the end, it\'s about following your intuition and buying from sellers and electronics

\"I\'m also working with third-party luxury certification services on projects I\'m not sure about.

This is not a brand new project, or it may not be perfect.

\"There will be a certain degree of\" use \"of the items that you have, but be sure how comfortable you are with something that is acceptable or not,\" she suggested . \". Check for fit (
Even if you have a great tailor! )
If you\'re familiar with a particular brand or designer and learn from an offline experience whether their design might fit the way you want it, it certainly helps, says Mesbur.
\"For example, I am a fan of Diane von Furstenberg, 70, and I already know how these clothes will fit, so I am confident to buy her antiques online.
\"Otherwise, because depending on the decade of manufacturing, the country of origin, and the model of a particular fashion company, the size of the garment may vary greatly, if you are not sure if a project is appropriate, it\'s important to measure and ask for more details-
Especially since returns can be tricky.
\"With older or vintage pieces coming up, the size tends to be much smaller,\" McMillan said . \".
\"The 12 th starting from 1960 s is not the same as today\'s 12 th, so it is important to get accurate measurements.
\"Yoo recommends asking size questions for your body type --

More bags and jewellery photos are requested if necessary to better measure size and size.
\"Get to know your body and ask the right questions,\" she said . \".

\"Also pay attention to the [package] attached to the item
Such as a shoe box or a duster bag,]
Be sure to read the seller\'s return policy, if you need items of a specific date, please pay attention to the shipping time of the delivery and consider the additional cost of the delivery, such as freight, handling fees, and any duties of international procurement.
\"Don\'t forget that Canadians import millions of dollars of old clothes every year, and the bad news is that your purchases are generally not tax-free.
\"Unless you shop in Canada, the tariffs on these sites can be very expensive,\" MacMillan said . \" Macmillan was surprised by unexpected high fees before buying antiques.
Of course, you can avoid these additional costs by purchasing from sellers in Canada.
