ModCloth : Vintage Done Right

ModCloth was started in 2002 by 17-year-old high school sweethearts who shared a passion for retro, vintage clothing. The couples business started in a closet and as it began to steadily grow, their vision went virtual with the launch of ModCloth.com.  In just the last two years alone, the site has accumulated over ten million views by women around the world! The owners define it as a place where you can find a "one of a kind or indie design." 


Vintage pieces are featured daily so be sure to check in regularly as items are limited and sell fast. You never know, you may find those banana peel heels from the 1980's or that 1960's long coat with oversized buttons and modified bow-tie neckline you've only seen in a Hollywood flashbacks.

Original vintage styles share a platform with vintage-inspired pieces from indie designers leaving you with an array of heritage looks in modern day fashion. Some of the brands are more recognizable such as Splendid, BB Dakota and Betsy Johnson while other names are like a surprise you'll want to instantly unwrap! You can put an entire look together by shopping apparel, shoes and accessories.

You can even throw some retro into your home with ModCloth's decor shop. Accessorize your kitchen, office, bathroom and bedrooms with unique pieces from their throwback selections to create an eclectic statement with mod podge pieces. 

Another perk: the site is interactive!  As a consumer, you can  "Be the Buyer" and flip through a selection of designs you think should be created just for the site. Everyday presents a new shopping experience and every page you flip through contains more and more delicious looks! So, if you're into vintage, one-of-a-kind style, ModCloth.com is exactly what you're looking for!
