With vintage eras having a big come back, I guess it wasn’t long before a different name for it became the norm.
Apparently the latest name for it is ‘vintiquing’ but at the moment it is not listed in any dictionary or wikipedia. It is used mainly in the UK and France and refers to people who shop for vintage treasures at flea markets, vintage fairs and vintage shops.
Along with the flea markets, fairs and shops has come the quintessentially British afternoon tea which was part of life in the early 1900’s however vintage lovers consider anything pre 1960 as vintage, and anything pre 1913 an antique, so I guess that’s why the two have been put together.
Some call it ‘retro’ which is meant to be for merchandise to be at least 20 to 25 years old.
One of my favourite magazines which I subscribe to is ‘Homes and Antiques’ http://www.homesandantiques.com/ which has lots on Antiques and Vintage but is something that I have really only noticed since I became a fan of it.
I found some old magazines which had ‘vintage’ articles on it well before it came into fashion again. But you’ve heard it hear first ‘Vintiquing’ is the latest name for Vintage and Antiques of a specific era.
