YearNotes Object is an ethical project that brings vintage into a livable way. Our Year Notes team started with home objects in 2020. With appreciation in heart, to help our customers have a more convenient shopping experience, we decided to open our Cloisonné Studio — We specialize in handcrafted cloisonné pieces inspired by centuries of Chinese craftsmanship. Each item tells a story through vibrant enamel and intricate metalwork, designed to bring elegance, meaning, and artistry into everyday life.
Rooted in tradition, refined for today.
Our sourcing is made from private individuals based in the United States mainly. Each item you’ll find in our store is unique and has been carefully hand-selected or personally reworked, ensuring that only garments of the highest quality will connect to you.
All photos in our store are taken with an iPhone. We are trying to capture the real identity of each special piece.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a positive review for the seller, Ricky at Baixin Shop. This item was out of stock, but Ricky followed up about that and issued a refund promptly. Appreciate the communication and making things easy. (This is just from the photo, but the zisha clay turtle looked exquisitely made, artistic and with a lively adorable expression. I've looked at A Lot of similar items and this is special. Sad it wasn't available but wanted to mention that as well.)

Frequently asked questions
Fit Estimates
If you have any question or doubt please mail me before buying, I’m always happy to help and will do our best to give you more details and extra photos when needed.
We give a fit estimate for every item we list, but please double-check the measurements to ensure it will fit you. The best way to tell if an item will fit properly is to compare the given measurements to a garment you already own. Vintage sizing varies from modern, so often the size on the tag is not accurate for today.
Shipping
All shipping costs, taxes from your country and customs fees are not refundable.
All shipping prices are set up to include the international tracking number but no insurance, if you would like to add one, mail me before your purchase and I’ll update the item with a higher shipping price that will include insurance.
Year Notes Store is not responsible for the customs fees and or taxes that may be applied by your country, they are at the buyer’s charge.
Year Notes Store is not responsible for the delays caused by the customs services.
Condition Details
All of our items are pre-loved authentic vintage, and you will receive the exact item as shown in the photos.
Everything we sell has been worn before, so minor signs of age and wear are to be expected. This is actually what gives each piece its unique charm that makes us love vintage clothing so much.
Items are rated with the following condition grades: mint, excellent, very good, good, fair, distressed, and costume grade. Any flaws besides general wear including stains, tears, or holes will be noted.
We do our best to note flaws but may overlook small things from time to time. please contact us if you have a concern about your purchase.
How to Measure
Our measurements are taken with the item lying flat, and the number is doubled for the chest, waist, and hips to get the measurement of it all the way around.
All measurements are in inches. please note that certain items are pinned back to fit model (but it will be indicated when this is done.) please read measurements carefully.
The shoulder to shoulder measurement is taken from seam to seam if the garment has shoulder seams.
No Return, Exchange and Cancellations
