Who are Vintage Threads?
Founded in 2016, Vintage Threads are one of Europe’s leading vintage retailers operating across both online and physical stores. Every piece that we sell has been handpicked from around the world and we typically sell a highly curated selection of both designer and sportswear from the 80s, 90s and early 00s.
