Items labeled Tinkered♥© is our collection of vintage apparel re-innovated with modern details or clothes I have sewn with vintage fabric and vintage-inspired ideas. I enjoy tinkering the best mix for you!

Purchasing
Vintage products are unique and play an important part in our collective memory of an era as well as being a great muse for today's trends. As a one-of-a-kind item (unless you hunt all the nooks and crannies the world over for the same product with ridiculous luck), it is best that you make a purchase quick if you love it. There is only one of each product listed, unless stated otherwise. I probably jumped through hoops of coincidence and persistence to attain it or spent hours sewing it in a frenetic burst of DIYness =)

Products are sold on a first come, first paid basis. In the rare occurence that multiple person buy the same item before I update it as sold, I will refund via PayPal. Please keep in mind, vintage items have variations in wear and invariably make the garment look and feel one-of-a-kind. I take great care in restoring items by tailoring, steam cleaning and laundering most clothes except garments in mint condition. Noticeable flaws are mentioned in the description.

All sales are final. No exchanges or refund. I try my best to describe and provide pictures of the product to the best extent. Exceptions are made when items are grossly misrepresented. Store credit will be issued minus shipping fees. Please check the measurement/sizes listed as vintage clothes are more small than our modern size scale. Due to the variation in color of computer monitors, the colors on screen may vary in person. Feel free to email questions before checking out.

Clothing measurements are made laying flat. Bust and waist are measured across and doubled. Bust/chest are measured from underarm to underarm seam. Length is measured from top seam/shoulder to hem or cuff. Most vintage have no labels, so sizes are listed as approximate such as "best fits" small, large, etc; Check measurements to ensure fit.

Payment

Sales Tax: Unfortunately, we have to charge California State residents 8.5% sales tax on purchases.

About V for Vintage - Somehow we find each other . . .
This site spawned from my overactive imagination and hyper desire to seek out all things cute and special. The image of Molly Ringwald making her own prom dress in Pretty in Pink always stuck with me! Growing up without much and being petite (nice way of saying i'm short =), I kept content by mixing hand me downs with homemade clothes and tailoring awesome finds. I enjoy finding stylish vintage that is aesthetically appealing, quality-made with quirky details and most importantly, imbued with sentimental history. Great vintage is a true keeper and require new owners throughout the ages; that's why I am excited to discover unique pieces and imagine its new life. I love knowing that these beauties are sent all over the world.

Inspired by having the best childhood in the history of childhoods, like those afternoons spent crafting, sewing and playing with all the neighborhood kids until dusk, V for Vintage has become my dream playground. I hope my enthusiasm for acquiring sumptuous goods, rescuing girly cute things and infinite curiousity with people fuel your vintage love.

cheers,
Jen
