Hiya, I'm Lauren!
I love vintage fashion and accessories (especially accessories <3) but I've made this account to help me date a lot of fur coats I've recently inherited.
I'd like to sell them all because they're not quite my style, but I also want to know what I need to mention to potential buyers so they're happy with what they receive, as well as what to price them at.
Expect to see me perusing the vintage fur forums for now! I'm going to be setting up a imgur account so it's easier to look through them, since there's about 13 of them, and a gorgeous cape with a fur trim.
Anybody who loves fur or is otherwise knowledgeable about it is free to message me, I'm not really sure how these things work, but thanks for letting me into this lovely little corner of the internet beatingHeart
 
Welcome Lauren!

We have one member who is particularly knowledgeable about furs, and generous with her knowledge when she's available to be. @peaceful vintage.

You probably didn't catch the forum rules (https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/pages/Welcome-to-the-VFG-Forums-please-read/) but we do not offer valuation. You're right to want to know the condition and type of fur because that will help you assess prices. Fur is priced kind of all over the place, and the more you know, the better off you'll be.

The Fur Resource is a huge help to start with, but it sounds like you know that!

Ah, thanks so much!! I'll have all of the coats pictured so it's easier for her to help out if she has the opportunity to!

Oh right, no problem! Yeah, once I've got a good grip on what I've got, it'll be much easier to find them a loving home, thanks again <3!!
 
Hi, my name is Debbie. I have been sewing for 50 years, as a teenager for myself and home decor, then kids costumes, theater costuming, more home decor and now am selling vintage patterns on Etsy. More importantly I love research and have an extensive collection of fashion magazines, books, cabinet cards and images. Currently I am curious about vintage gloves, especially those without any markings.
 
Hello I'm Briana I have a background in theatre and have always loved vintage fashion but only just got my first piece for personal keeping and found this site by trying to find more info on it.

Hey, I'm Tape! I am a lover of fashion and collect clothing that makes me feel good about myself. I mostly pick up things that are charmingly ugly though I also look for bright colours, interesting silhouettes, European designs and Edwardian/Inspired clothing. I love vintage clothing and buy the vast majority of my clothes used or vintage for the fit, fashion, and sustainability. When I'm not being lazy I like to sew. Lately, I've been too busy with work and reading. I've been using this site to help date my vintage finds for a while now so I thought it was about time I joined!

Hi I am Dinah. Lover of fashion all my life and a hairdresser. I became interested in vintage through a friend who used to own a vintage and fine collectables store. She is retired now and I am selling some of her things on line. It is an interesting journey and I am so happy to be part of the group. I am learning about dating items and more about value as well. Vintage is an interest now and will continue to be.

Hi, New one here. and new in "fashion" mode, went here to get answer for a jacket i found. but might fly here and there to learn interesting stuff about vintage.

See u soon !
 
I, like the others, treasure vintage items. I currently have enough things of mine, clothing and other things to start considering posting for sale. I spend many hours reading up on things because I enjoy it before I post an item. I want to do the best I can because I am no expert so I appreciate finding Vintage Fashion Guild and have read this valuable tool more than once. Vintage items intrigue me and although I don’t have many, I love vintage hats. When watching series from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, it as all about the hats. I would love to see that happen again but I highly doubt it will happen. I love looking at the Royals and their hats! I appreciate this forum!
