Welcome to The Vintage Vault! I'm Gabi, and I'm thrilled you've found your way here. This is a little bit about me and why I hope you’ll stick around, subscribe, and join me on this vintage fashion journey.
What IS The Vintage Vault?
The Vintage Vault is your go-to destination for all things vintage fashion. Here, I dive into the rich history of vintage clothing, offer styling tips, uncover the history of my subscribers’ pieces, and share exclusive interviews with fellow vintage enthusiasts.
Here's what you can expect:
Weekly Posts: I'll be posting at least once a week, bringing you a mix of in-depth articles, styling guides, and long form video content researching and sharing my very own subscriber’s vintage garments. Sometimes, you might even get more frequent updates (2x a week), depending on what's happening in the vintage world!
Monthly Free Content: For all my wonderful unpaid subscribers, you'll receive a free something (a video, newsletter, blog post, etc) every month.
Who am I?
Hi there! I'm Gabi, the creator behind The Vintage Vault. I'm so glad you're here!
My love for vintage clothing began with a very special, 800+ piece collection that I inherited from my vintage-collector grandma.
In 2020, I started posting about the garments on TikTok, slowly amassing a following and by 2022, I made a commitment to style one piece every single day for an entire year to uncover and document the stories/history of Grandma’s collection piece-by-piece. Today I get to share my love for vintage clothing with a following of over 1.6 million fellow vintage-lovers on Instagram and YouTube as well!
I am so excited to announce that my first book on “How to Dress Vintage in the 20th Century” will be released in February of 2025 and answers my most commonly asked question of all time “How do I dress vintage?” (Pre-orders will be announced ASAP)
Why should you subscribe?
At The Vintage Vault, I value your input, opinions, and feedback more than anything. I want to create content tailored specifically for you, my incredible community. There are a few options:
Free Subscriber
As a free subscriber to The Vintage Vault, you'll receive access to a selection of content, including a monthly piece of content sent out the first week of each month!
Paid Subscriber
For just 6$ a month (the price of a coffee!) or 60$ a year (that’s 2 free months!) you'll unlock the full range of benefits; unlimited access to all of my exclusive articles delivered to your inbox weekly, plus, you'll enjoy an opportunity to engage in live Q&A sessions where you can ask me anything about vintage fashion, share your own experiences, or simply chat with fellow subscribers.
Founding Member
As a founding member of The Vintage Vault, you'll receive all the benefits of a paid subscriber, plus special recognition and perks. Founding members play a crucial role in supporting independent creators like me and helping to shape the future of The Vintage Vault. In addition to unlimited access to exclusive content and ad-free reading, I would love to offer special discounts on merchandise or events we hold as a community in the future!
Why Not Social Media?
You might be wondering, with a vibrant presence on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, why I've decided to start The Vintage Vault on Substack. Great question! While I absolutely love connecting with you all on social media, Substack offers some unique benefits that make it the perfect place for a deeper dive into the world of vintage fashion.
1. Depth Over Brevity: Social media platforms are fantastic for immediate interactions, but they often limit the depth and detail we can go into. Here, I can share long-form content that's not always possible in a 30 second or less social media video.
2. Focused Community: Substack allows us to build a more focused, engaged, and intentional community. When you subscribe to The Vintage Vault, you're choosing to be part of a dedicated group of vintage fashion lovers who are just as passionate as you are.
3. Ad-Free Environment: Unlike social media, where ads can be a huge part of financing content and often disrupt your experience, Substack provides an ad-free space where the focus is entirely on the content. Your subscription allows this Substack to exist.
4. Deeper Connections: Substack fosters a closer connection between creators and their audience. Here, I can engage with your comments and messages in a way that I never could in a sea of millions of comments on other platforms.
While I'll still be active on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, The Vintage Vault is where we can immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of vintage fashion in a more meaningful way, free from doom-scrolling!
Thank you for being part of this journey! Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me, and I can't wait to continue exploring the wonderful world of vintage with you!
Warmly,
Gabi!
