Finding the Right Clothing for You

From elegant museum-worthy vintage Chanel dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing for sale on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think John Galliano and Roberto Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. 

Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino, Ralph Lauren and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Balmain endure for haute couture advocates and beyond. 

And vintage is the name of the game on today’s red carpets, too. Celebrity stylists are turning to archival pieces created by the likes of Bob Mackie, Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier as alternatives to new gowns plucked straight off the runway. Wearing such sought-after items gives celebrities instant allure and suggests a personal style that’s not only achingly glamorous but intellectually informed and influenced by a love of craftsmanship. 

Those seeking contemporary luxury looks and in-demand street-style fits can indulge in designs by Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Loro Piana, while pieces from Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace endure as examples of fashion’s most covetable goods. 

The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. Find vintage clothing and accessories for sale on 1stDibs, including designs by Balenciaga, Valentino, Celine, Loewe and more.

Questions About Patchwork Leather Jacket
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Today, most leather jackets have fringe simply as a style embellishment that adds visual appeal to the garment. However, the original purpose of fringe was to wick water away from the sleeves of leather jackets if a wearer gets caught in a rainstorm. If leather gets very damp, it can lose vital natural oils which may cause it to shed its supple quality and eventually become brittle. Find a collection of leather jackets from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021

    To tell if a leather jacket is vintage, look for a maker's label. Once you have located the label, consult trusted online resources to determine when the brand was active. For makers that are still in business, examine online photographs of their labels from various time periods to find a match and estimate the age of your jacket. For a piece to be considered vintage, it must be at least 20 years old. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage leather jackets.

For assistance evaluating your leather jacket, use the services of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Shop a wide variety of leather jackets on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    Yes, leather jackets were popular in the 50s. They became a trend after Marlon Brando wore one in the 1953 film The Wild One. Beloved by rockers, rebels and outsiders, the original leather biker jacket was introduced by the Schott Brothers, in Manhattan, in 1928. Because of its association with motorcycle club riots, U.S. schools banned the jackets for a time. Shop a selection of leather jackets from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023
    To tell if a vintage leather jacket is real, first look for any tags that show the material content. You can also do a quick test by applying one to two drops of water to an inconspicuous area. If the water is absorbed, the jacket is likely real leather. Water will usually roll off faux leather. On 1stDibs, find a collection of leather jackets.
