About us

La Mela vintage is a precious online space where you can find Italian-branded vintage clothes that have been personally selected, cleaned, laundered, and repaired if needed. We promote sustainable shopping, and our motto is "What's old is new." We believe in the uniqueness of people and love helping them appreciate refined, well-made clothes to create a distinctive style.

Vintage clothing has a story to tell and is a great way to add personality to your wardrobe while being more sustainable. We encourage people to shop consciously because the future of the planet is in our hands. Wearing vintage clothes can make a big difference by helping the circular economy become part of a new world. By giving vintage clothes new life, we reduce our ecological footprint.

Buying vintage is also ethical because fast fashion is known to destroy our environment, exploit labourers, and disadvantage populations. Our mission is to bring vintage clothing to every occasion because "luxury is no longer defined by price." Our collection is designed and hand-picked to bring quality clothes to your wardrobe, ranging from the 1950s to the 1990s. Each item is dated by era as close as possible based on styles, fabrics, zippers, snaps, labels, and occasionally, we are able to confirm the date of manufacture with the manufacturer.

Please note that most vintage clothing will show small signs of wear, each piece is carefully inspected for flaws before it is listed for sale. We try to describe all items in detail, accompanied by photographs displaying any flaws.

We want to provide something for women and kids for every taste, style, and budget. So, whether you're looking for a unique dress for a special occasion or want to add a retro outfit to your style, check out our website and social channels to find something special that tells its own story.
