Common Questions
Is this genuine vintage?
Is this genuine vintage?
Yes — every piece at Althea Vintage is genuine vintage from the 1960s to 2000s. We never sell vintage-inspired reproductions. Each item is individually sourced and authenticated by our team.
How does vintage sizing work compared to Australian sizes?

Vintage sizing runs differently to modern Australian sizing. A "size 12" from the 1970s is closer to a modern AU 8. We include exact measurements (bust, waist, hips, length) on every listing — always refer to these rather than the labelled size.
