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?
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.
