The foundation of Imparfaite, the category that started it all. If you see the “vintage” tag on your dream piece, it means that it was produced over 20 years ago!
Vintage is synonymous with quality, authenticity and craftsmanship. These unique pieces have lived several lives before landing in your closet, they carry a part of history.
This piece belongs to one of the 3,500 professional sellers who are partners of Imparfaite (thrift stores or consignment stores). They guarantee the authenticity and quality of the piece.

Imparfaite advises sellers on the best price per product type, but they are not obliged to follow this recommendation.
For us the best price in vintage is the lowest that allows a sufficient margin for the seller. To learn more, we wrote an article about it, which you can read here.
The size mentioned on the product page is the size converted in today's standards. In addition, we mention the most detailed measurements possible for each piece. We advise you to take the measurements of your favorite pieces to compare.

The fashion industry produces what we have called “imperfects” every year. These are pieces that have small minor defects, which do not impact the essential value of the product. These can be production defects, prototypes, pieces worn once during a shoot or loaned to influencers...
