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.
