Check out your local charity shops and don’t be afraid to rummage. The chances are that the most collectable items lurk at the bottom of the pile.
Also, keep going back to any shop and get to know the staff so that they know what you are looking out for. Maybe even leave your contact details so they will let you know when something special comes in.
Look for items that are made of high quality fabrics such as wool or cotton. Don't worry if an item has a small hole, is missing a button or needs to be hemmed up, this can all be easily fixed.
Don't spend much as there aren’t any items of clothing in particular that make the most profit, its more about the condition, the label and how limited the availability of the item is. There are plenty of books out there on shopping for vintage.
Although big names generally sell for more money, it’s much more difficult to find them for just a few quid. Because of this, you’re better off sticking to lower priced items to begin with.
Charity shops are a great place for vintage bargains. There are also some fantastic online shops such as somelikeitvintage that have amazing bargain items.
There are literally thousands of collectors out there searching for certain items. They are willing to pay big money for the vintage designer shoe.
Some well known sites to sell them on are ebay, asos marketplace, and specialist auctions or of course at your local vintage fair.
