Antiques have two main advantages. One is cheap, but the style is beautiful.
cheap
Ancient clothes are second-hand in a sense, and second-hand clothes are naturally much cheaper than new ones. Moreover, the quality of ancient clothes is often good, and the materials and tailoring are good, which can be preserved for a long time without being bad. And it will often be some big names. I have seen a netizen pick up a Burberry scarf in an antique shop abroad, which is equivalent to one or two hundred yuan. In antique shops on Taobao, the price of a shirt generally ranges from 30 to 50 yuan. The price of some coats is also around 100 yuan. So from these aspects, ancient orphans are often very cheap. It is very attractive for some people whose consumption level is not very high.
Nice style
As I said before, the materials used in ancient costumes are good, and they are often big names, so the styles and tailoring will not be bad. You can see many ancient costumes on Taobao. The styles are very playful and retro, and the materials are also very classic and retro, which is very attractive to some retro lovers.
But where is the old problem?
In fact, antique shops are very common and formal in some places abroad and at home. Regular antique shops should be more reliable about the origin of clothes. Generally, the former owners of clothes sell second-hand clothes or clothes accessories. Moreover, formal antique shops should use professional and thorough disinfection methods to ensure the cleanliness of clothes. So as to provide some clothes with retro style and sense of history.
But now the so-called antique shops on Taobao are basically very unhealthy and informal. Their clothes are often worn-out clothes found in foreign garbage shipped to China from Japan, South Korea and other countries, and then bought back at a very low price. Some may simply wash, and some may not even wash. This is very unsanitary. Because on the one hand, clothes are treated as garbage, so transportation and storage are very unsanitary and full of bacteria. On the other hand, the source of this kind of foreign garbage clothes is also unreliable. Some of them are even taken from the dead, or some relics of the dead. In China, there have also been people who bought antique clothes and died of the plague. This is heartbreaking.
Therefore, the answer is to carry forward the formal antique culture and strictly control those informal and dangerous antique shops.
