I recently put out a wonderful new array of vintage coin purses, wallets, and purses here at Lulu's Vintage store in Portland, Oregon (916 West Burnside)...
My talented (and steady handed) husband Chris hand painted this A-Board sidewalk sign for the store.

10- It is the ultimate eco-gift! No landfill packaging. No new use of resources or labor.
9- Craftsmanship. Vintage items were made out of high quality materials and feature unique design details.
8- History. You are buying an item that has proved to be fashionable throughout history.
7- History (part 2). It is fun to own something vintage and think of how a person from a whole other generation appreciated it as well.
6- Uniqueness. No chance of hitting the streets with a new scarf only to see three other people with the same one!
5- Supporting a small business. Instead of lining the pockets of big box stores, you can support an independent business owner.
4- Authenticity. Why buy rip-offs of old designs, when you can get the original.
3- Authenticity (part 2). Why buy something that has been "distressed" to look old when you can get something that has genuine patina.
2- Save some cash. Vintage items are often times much less expensive than new.
1- Don't participate in the mad rush to the mall. Vintage is easy to find off the beaten path.
