Reimagined Vintage

Is reimagined vintage actually altered, or just thrifted and resold?

It is genuinely altered. SCRAPD does not allow unaltered factory resale - every storefront is hand-reviewed before it can list, and a reimagined vintage piece has to show real handwork: restoring, redesigning, embellishing, or transforming the original. A thrifted item listed untouched would not pass review.

What is the difference between Reimagined Vintage and Second Story Fashion?

Reimagined Vintage is a vintage piece restored, redesigned, or embellished while its history stays legible. Second Story Fashion is clothing reconstructed and rebuilt from existing garments into something new. The two overlap, so if you are unsure, browse both.

Will another buyer be able to get the same piece?

No. Reimagined vintage is one-of-one. The maker started from a single vintage garment, so once it sells it is gone. There is no restock and no second size.

How do I find my size when every piece is unique?

Each listing states the measurements and size the maker is working with. Because pieces are reworked by hand, read the listed measurements rather than relying on a label - vintage sizing rarely matches modern sizing.

Can I ask the maker about the piece’s history before buying?

Yes. These are independent creators, not a faceless warehouse - message the maker through their storefront with questions about the era, the fabric, or the work they did before you commit.
