FAQ & Why buy from us?
"How can I track my order?"
Be sure to check your email! Multiple notifications are sent to the email you enter at checkout, including a receipt of purchase and when your item has shipped (which includes a tracking number). Some orders are shipped via UPS but most are through USPS. I use Pirate Ship, which is a company that offers the lowest possible shipping rate. This keeps shipping low for all of our customers!
"Do you ship internationally?"
Yes! If you don't think we ship to your country, send us an email or message on Instagram - @nostalgicbabyvintage. Keep in mind rates are higher but we offer the lowest price available through Pirate Ship (which ships through USPS if the package weight is less than 4 pounds, or UPS typically if the package is 4 pounds or greater).
"What if I need faster shipping?"
Send us an email at nostalgicbabyvintage@yahoo.com or on Instagram @nostalgicbabyvintage and we can upgrade your shipping to priority for an extra charge.
"Can your shop buy kids' vintage clothing from me?"
Yes, I would love to consider buying out your kids' vintage clothing! Send me a message with photos or a video. We will also discuss pricing, which varies on the clothing you are trying to sell. Reach me via email Nostalgicbabyvintage@yahoo.com or Instagram @nostalgicbabyvintage
"Do you offer consignment where I can receive a percent of sales on my items?"
Not at this time. But I am happy to outright compensate you for your items and for shipping! If you choose to donate your items, we will also compensate you for shipping costs. Message us at nostalgicbabyvintage@yahoo.com or on Instagram @nostalgicbabyvintage
"I am a kid's vintage shop trying to niche or declutter. Will you buy my items?"
Yes, please! We like to sell all styles and eras of vintage clothing for kids! Send us a message and we can discuss pricing! Nostalgicbabyvintage@yahoo.com and @nostalgicbabyvintage on Instagram are the best ways to reach us.

This shop is run by a mom of four. Total transparency - my love for vintage didn't start out of love, but more out of desire be a good friend in helping my lifelong best friend fulfill her own vintage dreams! She wanted to dress the baby girl she was expecting in classic, delicate, girly vintage dresses. It was not my style at all! But the more I delve into thrifting for vintage kids clothes, the more I fell in love with the unique fits, patterns, designs, quality of fabric, and overall durability. Vintage denim has struck my eye for some time, (especially Levi's trucker jackets) and so I would say that is my favorite vintage niche!
I have always been a fan of shopping secondhand for a better planet. The clothes we buy this day in age are no longer out of need. There is an abundance of clothing already in existence that we can wear. Same goes for our kids! We can dress them in the standard baby and kids clothes that we typically see for sale at any store, really. We can get them for next to nothing or even free if you just ask around. If you're reading this, you are probably here because you dress your kiddo for another reason - for that priceless nostalgia that comes with seeing your favorite childhood styles, characters, patterns, fits, etc. on your little babe!
When you choose nostalgic vintage pieces, you are also choosing secondhand which is a much more sustainable option than buying new. If you haven't heard about fast fashion and it's damaging effects at all levels of production, I gently suggest you to do a little research into it - even if that just means watching a quick YouTube video - it'll blow your mind pretty quickly! When you buy secondhand pieces from this shop, you are supporting one employee and I want to help preserve our beautiful planet. Buying secondhand is not contributing to the supply and demand complex of fast fashion...because that cycle needs to end!
In addition to vintage kids pieces, I also sell some vintage-inspired fits (that may look like vintage but may not be true vintage) and other secondhand sourced pieces that I think will look good with vintage or are just amazing quality and easy on the eyes.
And when you choose to buy from this little shop Nostalgic Baby Vintage, you are choosing small and supporting a real person with a real little family. We thank you so much for being here and sharing our love for one-of-a-kind, can't-be-replicated-today vintage and some other loved little goods too!
