It's a party of the clothes swapping kind with Common Vintage
The beauty of the idea is the freedom it gives vintage and fashion enthusiasts in refreshing and updating their wardrobes. As Karin eloquently puts it, fashion is not about always having something new, but more about having something different. So why not use what you already have to build a new wardrobe? Common Vintage aims to lessen the ecological impact of the fashion supply chain, and given the popularity of their swap parties, it seems the idea is gaining momentum.
Every couple of months fashion lovers converge, armed with items from their closets that will convert to the swapdollars they need to snatch up items in a frenzy of swapping and excited admiration. In fact, this Sunday 9 June you can get in on the action yourself at the Common Vintage Tauschparty at Badehaus Szimpla Musiksalon. New Spring wardrobe, here we come!
As for the online platform, it’s easy to get started buying, selling or swapping clothes, accessories or shoes. A tip for newbies, you might even nab items listed by fashion stylists and bloggers if you’re quick enough. A comprehensive list of Berlin’s best vintage stores have also joined the Common Vintage marketplace, meaning it really is your one stop shop for Berlin vintage. Karin is clearly one of the best dressed vintage lovers in town, with her eye constantly on the new products appearing each day. Her personal style is influenced by the 80s, so here she is, followed by some of her favourites currently online at Common Vintage...
