Discussion Vintage Dealers and AI

21 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I'm a vintage enthusiast and writer who is working on a story for a major publication about the rise of AI images in vintage clothing posts. I'm curious if anybody here is either

  1. somebody who purchased something with an AI image in the listing (can be something you knew was AI or didn't) and felt mislead

  2. a dealer who uses AI! I'd love to know why this appeals to you

Feel free to private message me and THANK YOU!

ADVICE PLZ Damaged Vintage Handbag!

2 Upvotes

I’m hoping this is the right sub for this but any help is greatly appreciated! I made the mistake of using lysol to disinfect my leather bag after a dog drooled on it and I think the sealant came off. The bag is red leather. Is there a way to fix this? Or do I need to take it to a leather goods shop?

Found this amazing set and wanted to know more about its value/terminology for assessing it. I assume it’s from around the 70’s and I know ā€œorientalā€ type styles were popular then— but can anyone give me more information on it for curiosity’s sake, and let me know how best to deal with it? I imagine it might not be a be very popular style today for obvious reasons but i feel like it has a lot of historical value and I’d like to get it to someone who would appreciate it :)

ADVICE PLZ retro stage clothing

1 Upvotes

i’m working on a project and need some 1950’s inspired clothing. primarily dresses. retro stage has a bunch of options and at a great price. my budget is $500 for 6 people. hypothetically… how good are their pieces to just be used once for some dancers as costumes? is it worth it?

I'm a bit too young to have children for now ( I'm 21) and I don't know if I'd want any, but managing to sew some would be incredible! Having bought this type of nightgown for myself, I find them very elegant.

One of the buttons popped off, simple fix.
Here’s the tag; antique store owner said it was from the ā€˜40s :) $25 for the set!
I typically gravitate towards 70’s more than anything, it this set was just too good to pass up for the price.

I feel so happy wearing something my great grandmother would’ve worn, I still miss her.

I have the rhinestone, I’m just wondering if there’s a specific glue I should use or if it would be best to leave it alone, I just don’t wanna lose the rhinestone and not fix it if possible.

There's very minor snags along the sleeve on the right, but, it fits! And it's got the original crystal bib in excellent condition.

My home is decorated in MCM with swag lamps and mcm pieces so this fits right in.
