The Brands We Love
Why We Choose the Brands We Love at Found Vintage
At Found Vintage, we don’t just stock any brand—we carefully curate pieces that align with our values, aesthetic, and commitment to sustainability. The brands we carry tell stories, represent craftsmanship, and reflect cultural movements that have shaped fashion over the decades. Here’s why we choose the brands we love.
1. Heritage & Authenticity
We look for brands with history—those that have played a significant role in shaping style and culture. Whether it’s the rugged durability of Filson and Carhartt, the classic wool craftsmanship of Pendleton and Woolrich, or the timeless appeal of Barbour, we seek out brands that have stood the test of time.
2. Quality & Craftsmanship
True vintage lasts because it was made to last. We prioritize brands known for their construction, material choices, and attention to detail. Brands like Ralph Lauren, LL Bean, and Alaïa embody expert tailoring and superior fabrics that age beautifully, making them perfect for long-term wear.
3. Cultural Significance
Fashion isn’t just about what we wear—it’s about who we are and where we come from. We carry brands that have left an impact on specific cultural movements, like the NYC streetwear revolution shaped by Independent, Dickies, and Anti Social Social Club, or the Western Americana legacy built by Averix, Wrangler, and Stetson.
4. Sustainability & Longevity
Fast fashion comes and goes, but the brands we choose are meant to be worn for decades, not seasons. By selecting brands that focus on natural materials, ethical production, and high-quality standards, we promote sustainability through fashion that doesn’t end up in landfills. Brands like Patagonia, Alexander McQueen, and Blumarine balance style with sustainability.
5. Uniqueness & Timeless Appeal
Some pieces are just undeniable—they tell a story, hold their value, and continue to inspire. We source brands that offer unique prints, impeccable cuts, and bold aesthetics that transcend trends. From Gucci’s vintage leather goods to Valentino’s dramatic silhouettes, every piece at Found Vintage is chosen with purpose.
6. Personal Connection & Inspiration
Our love for these brands isn’t just about fashion—it’s about the way they connect to our own journeys. Whether it’s a deep-rooted appreciation for African textiles, the nostalgic pull of 90s sportswear, or the rebellious spirit of punk and street fashion, every brand we stock is a reflection of what inspires us.
At Found Vintage, every item has a history, every brand has a purpose, and every piece is waiting for its next story. That’s why we choose brands with meaning—so when you shop with us, you’re not just buying clothing, you’re investing in something timeless.
