The power of vintage shopping in Milan
The power of vintage shopping in Milan
Our 5 best vintage shops
Living in Milan also means dealing with fashion. But this does not mean that all natives follow the same. One of the wonderful things about this city is exactly that everyone can feel free to dress and dress up as they see fit, according to their own tastes and inner world. Expressing oneself also means having a personal way of dressing, often unique, and no one is judged for this reason. However, among the fashions that are very popular, vintage is certainly riding the wave. Of course also for green issues: putting used clothes back into circulation, still beautiful and practicable, is the same as making an ethical and eco-sustainable choice, which is of interest to everyone, including animals and the environment!
But what does vintage mean? Let’s start first from the etymology: it is a word that comes from the old French vendenge, harvest, and indicates precisely vintage wines of value. Later vintage began to indicate old but quality objects, considered precious for cultural reasons and then became objects of desire. A lot of things can be vintage: guitars, cars, bicycles, furniture… and of course clothes.
Today we want to introduce you to our five favorite vintage stores in Milan!

VINTAGE HANGOVER
Just think, this shop is 17 years old and was born with the idea of founding a music label.
