FAQ

What is vintage?

Vintage is considered 20 years and older. We carry a selection from a range of eras and mostly concentrate on well-made pieces that translate into the modern wardrobe.

Condition of garment?

Almost all of our pieces are secondhand and have been pre-worn. We select for quality and good condition, but expect that pieces will show light signs of wear from decades of use. We love to find evidence of care from previous owners such as hand mends and careful alterations. We examine and mend all pieces to be sure they are sold in ready-to-wear condition. Any notable issues will be highlighted in the item's description.

Where do you get your stuff?

Most items are found in and around New England, in local Vermont haunts, on extended road trips, or purchased directly from their original owner. See next question for more info on direct buying.

Do you consign?

While we do not consign at POV, we do buy select items outright. As we take items up front (not dependent on the sale of the item), we offer you a percentage of the initial asking price in either cash or a higher value in store credit.

POV focuses on well-made vintage pieces and select modern brands. Vintage is considered 20 years and older. Items must be clean and in good condition.

Please drop off your vintage at our studio anytime during open hours—no appointment necessary. We typically review items within one week and will reach out to you with an offer. You'll have the opportunity to accept or reject our offer (either partially or fully). You'll also have the option to pick up any items we do not take or we can donate them on your behalf.

Thank you!
