You Won't Believe the Vintage Treasures I Just Found on 1stDibs, and No, They're Not All Wildly Expensive

In an age where sameness has taken over fashion (think Dôen's lace-trim shorts and Juju Vera's shell pendant necklace), individuality feels needed more than ever. That's where vintage shopping comes in. Sourcing one-of-a-kind pieces offers a chance to express your personal style in a way that mass-market items simply can't replicate. Plus, there's a sense of euphoria that comes with owning something that no one else has.
Over the past year, I've been on a vintage journey, attending in-person markets in New York like Manhattan Vintage and Not-a-Normal Market. When nothing is happening in real life, I shop vintage online. One of my favorite digital spots to discover hidden gems? 1stDibs.
For those unfamiliar, 1stDibs is a top destination where in-the-know people go to discover expertly vetted luxury vintage items. It offers everything from home décor pieces that tap into the latest design trends to jewelry and shoes. There's even a selection of clothing from designers like Prada, The Row, and Ralph Lauren. The best part is that the site considers all budgets—or lack thereof. To showcase all the little treasures 1stDibs has to offer, I curated a selection of the top under-$400 finds across fashion and interior design. Keep scrolling to discover and shop it.
Clothing & Accessories
It's not just suede bags and shoes that will dominate fall fashion but also suede pants and skirts. Grab this before a Who What Wear editor does, because one definitely will.
These look just like the Round Ballet Flats that are currently on The Row's site—except they cost about 60% less. Wear them now with a minidress, in the fall with pedal pushers and a tee, and in the winter with white wide-leg jeans and a chunky sweater.
It girls everywhere are tying silk scarves around their heads, waists, and necks.
