Definition of antique and vintage Personal opinion

antique, vintage.

You can see many different products in many different places. Well, in a nutshell, what is antique? ?

Generally speaking, the definition is that 100 years ago is divided into earlier, later, antique, and vintage, but as you all know,

Time passes. It will pass. This year is going by in the blink of an eye. I say the same thing every year at the end of the year. It flows that much.

When it comes to vintage items, don't you see that they are getting older?

The 90's were just recently, and it didn't fall into the vintage category.

Now (as of 2021), it is already vintage from the 90s.

In the world of fashion, the 1980s was a time of considerable abundance. It's a very powerful age.

To be more precise, there is also the word "retro."

Retro has a rather nostalgic meaning, so for example, the early Showa era, tinplate, etc.

In any case, even if the definition of a word is fixed, you can see that the content is always changing.

There are things that include the historical background.

As written on the shop page, our store mainly sells antique and vintage items from before and after the war.

Since we are a family business in antiques that we found in France, we are talking about the pre-war and post-war period in France, but the world wars in France are the first and second world wars. Of course, there are many other wars as well. (Sadly)

Here, I will focus not on the magnitude of the emergency, but on how the historical background and lifestyle changed due to the incident, and I personally feel that the period before and after World War II was the turning point. It is divided by

Other important points are the industrial revolution and the appearance of Coco Chanel, but if you look at it from the current 2021, it's already an antique, right? It's like that.

To put it simply in Japanese,...

After the war and before the war, were they the same country? ? Hasn't it changed completely?

society and people's lives.

Beyond the era of lack of things, we will develop strongly and become rich. It's like that. (2nd time)

This is just my personal opinion.

Some people are concerned about hand embroidery and other hand embroidery, but just because it is machine embroidered does not mean it is not antique; industrial machines had already appeared in the mid-18th century. Masu.

Of course, there are certain points that you should be concerned about.

Was it carefully made at home? However, for example, many antique lace nets are made by machines.

The race is especially difficult,

I wonder how the race name came about...

Not all races have race names.

Even if there are categories for needles and bobbins, there are some that I don't know the lace names for. Well, maybe it's just my lack of knowledge, but I don't think everything has a name. (Second time, again)

In the first place, the name of a lace, for example "Bruxel lace", does not mean that it is always made in Bruxel.

The name and the place of origin are not the same.

Although it is named after its origin, the technology has traveled from country to country, where it has been further improved, and the name has changed again since then.The name comes from the fact that it resembles a branch or a vine. Please look at this with a certain amount of perspective.

Even though I wrote it long and lazily as usual, the story didn't come together in the end,

I think it includes antiques, vintage, and flea markets.

After all, wouldn't it be more fun to imagine things yourself? !

By the way, the reason why our shop, or rather, my Instagram, this blog, and "Anyway Story" is... (Write the reason)

====I have been writing about this on my blog several times regularly. ====

I am filled with my own evil side here as well,

What are your impressions when you hear the words "Paris" and "France"?

You probably have an image of something wonderful, something you admire, something like a magazine cover or feature. In fact, the same goes for magazines, and I think they purposely create them with that in mind.

I also think that people who live in France, like me, are expressing the same kind of atmosphere.

The products have an atmosphere, but to be honest, personally, I don't really feel like I'm intentionally doing the same thing that everyone else is doing.

So I thought it would be boring to do things like magazine covers, and there would be no sense of individuality, so if that's the case, at least try tweeting something that doesn't really matter to you as an administrator. If only the real life in France could be seen in those insignificant murmurs. . I wonder if I can feel a little bit of the real France, not just the ones I admire through magazines. That's what I thought.

To begin with, I personally don't like the "nice Paris" atmosphere that I wrote above (I know that's actually what I'm looking for, haha!)

The real France and Paris are completely different, so I guess there's no need to go out of your way to show that. . As for the medium.

There's something wonderful about antiques, but there's something more...

I think it's all about dirtiness in a good way, a sense of life, and a feeling of wear and tear.

In one word, it's individuality! ! Hahahaha

Huh?

That's what I thought when I started writing, but

This is going to be a big story, so here we go again with the admin saying something I don't understand! I'll leave it at about that.
