Vintage Everywhere

We could see so many shops selling vintage stuff growing like mushrooms after rain nowadays. 
The products that was sold are ranging from furniture, toys, clothing, home decorations, artwork, lighting and many more. 

Vintage is being used as concepts or themes in events such weddings, annual dinners and also in home interior design. It is definitely not wrong to say that vintage is the 'IN' thing now :). 

But really what do we meant by vintage? Most people are often confused with the definition of vintage and are often mixed up with antiques. We did some research and this is what we found!

1) Antique. Something that is really really old. Probably musty, dusty and moldy. Probably made of wood. Usually unstylish and tacky. Most probably aged 100 years and above.

2) Vintage. Something that is too old to be considered used but not as old as Grandma. By calling it "vintage" the seller tries to distract the buyer from the items's blatant imperfections. Like many  "retro" items, "vintage" items are often either mid -century modern (in style if not in fact) or related to bygone pop culture or fashion trends. There are most probably items found in year 1920's to 1970's.
