When it comes to naming sources for vintage clothing, most dealers play it “close to the vest.” When they find a great supplier, thrift store or entire community that is caught in a time warp and therefore a vintage clothing mecca, well, they’re probably not going to want to share that information with little ol’ you.

So for the women who write to me telling me there’s just no great vintage to be had in their neck of the woods, don’t despair! There are plenty of bargains available on the virtual shopping meccas, too. Sure, sometimes bids on these sites will climb beyond the maximum you’re willing to pay, but I’m often surprised by how often that doesn’t happen!

One item to put on your watch list is today’s VPOD. This vintage 1970s shearling vest by Christian Dior is perfect for the transitional weather between seasons and has a bargain of a starting bid.

It’s a cozy find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Shop It Beverly Hills.
