BarbeeVintage

Vintage dresses now on sale! Most under $30.00! I sell American vintage and retro clothing and accessories as well as vintage and antique home decor. Everything in my shop is hand picked and selected because it struck a chord with me and I hope it does with you, too. I don't purchase big lots of dresses from a dealer somewhere in America; I spend a good portion of each week hunting for treasures and I love to find an old designer piece or a bit of the past that makes me smile and remember. Take a look around. Be sure to read the last paragraph of my shop info.

I make it my top priority to select items that are relevant, useable and wearable today. I am working on growing my inventory so please check back often.

The story of BarbeeVintage goes like this: When I was born in 1958, and my parents nicknamed me Barbee, they had no idea that just one short year later the toy giant Mattel would present their own Barbie to the world. She was perfection, and like too many young girls, I felt less than perfect. Truth be told, I couldn't wait to grow up and become a Barbara. No one ever asks a Barbara "where's Ken?"
In fashion and home decor, everything old is new again. And so it goes with life, as well. Memories get sweeter with age so who better to represent this shop than little Barbee. After all, I was born at the tail end of the fifties and grew up in the sixties and seventies. I spent many Saturdays scavenging flea markets and antique malls. I have a fondness for vintage and, truth be told, a fondness for that old nickname.
I am fortunate to live in an area that is rich with cinematic, fashion and decorating history and I will enjoy sharing my vintage finds with you. I love to pick through estate sales of former Hollywood screenwriters, "B" movie stars and other show biz types. The bits and pieces of their fascinating lives are laid bare and spread out on picnic tables in once lush backyards. Bargain hunters and vintage collectors sift and sort through it all. I'm rather picky about my selections and I treat each and every piece with care...they were, after all, a part of someone's life.

I take pride in providing excellent customer service and thank you immensely for your purchase. Vintage and antique items are not new and most will bear the marks of age. I try and select items with a minimum of flaws and will make every attempt to point out any noticeable wear, scuffs, rips or tears. If you are not happy with a product, please let me know within 3 days of receipt. I take great care to package every item carefully but accidents happen and if anything is broken during shipping please provide a photo of the damaged piece(s) and I will be more than happy to send you a refund. Many thanks!
