[What is the definition of vintage? 】Trip column

Hello! This is T from Trip sales staff!

 

The domestic vintage boom is not just a passing fad, but "vintage fashion" which has firmly established itself as a genre.Trip vintageIt is widely recognized as a vintage town and attracts a large number of foreign tourists.

I can't wake up from that kind of fever"Vintage"What is the definition of ? This time I would like to think about😊

In conclusion,There are no clear standards!However, according to American customs laws,It seems that they are differentiated depending on how many years have passed since they were manufactured.

Mainly, "vintage" refers to items that are between 30 and 99 years old.

Items that are older than that and are over 100 years old are classified as "antiques."

As an example, I gave an interpretation of the distinction, but the origin of the word "vintage" is the harvest time of wine."vendange"represents the year in which the grapes for wine were harvested, and while the word used to refer to a ``winn year'' when the grapes were particularly good, it has come to be used in the fashion scene as a term to refer to ``old and valuable items'' that have become rare over time.

When you trace the roots of the word, it is surprisingly ambiguous and the definition varies from person to person.

As time passes, the products currently on sale also change.Maybe it will be treated as “vintage”!

And in the last few yearsIn addition to words such as vintage and antique,It's becoming a trending word"Archive"The term "archive" is used to refer to specific items of historical value that have appeared in past collections of famous designers and houses. Items that have appeared in collections in the past and that symbolize the history of the highly acclaimed brand are treated as archive items.

The definition of archive also varies from person to person, but you can see the difference in perspective, with ``vintage'' emphasizing age and rarity value, and ``archive'' emphasizing the historical value of a brand.

In recent years, words such as "vintage" and "archive" have become more common, and brands are buying back items that were sold in the past, holding exhibitions featuring past items, and other movements to strengthen the value of maisons over their lifetime.

In the future, words such as vintage and archive that influence industry trends may be born, so I'd like to keep an eye on them!😊
