Common Questions

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.

Can I try this on in-store in Melbourne?

Yes! Visit our store at 273A Johnson Street, Abbotsford VIC 3067 (inner Melbourne). You can try on any piece before buying. We also have items in-store that aren't listed online yet.

What condition is this item in?

We describe the condition of each item honestly in the product description. All pieces are pre-loved vintage — minor signs of age (fading, gentle wear) are expected and part of the charm. Any notable flaws are disclosed in the description and photos.

How does vintage shoe sizing convert to AU sizes?

Vintage shoes often use US or EU sizing. We include sole length measurements on every pair. As a guide: US 7 ≈ AU 7.5, US 8 ≈ AU 8.5. Always check the insole length measurement listed in the description for the most accurate fit.
