Frequently Asked Questions about Vintage therapy
How do you choose the clothes you sell?
All vintage and second-hand pieces are handpicked. We don’t just hang up whatever comes in—we select each item based on its cut, brand, material, age and details, and, most importantly, whether we’d want to wear it ourselves.
Are all the items in Vintage therapy second-hand?
Not exactly. You’ll find handpicked vintage and second-hand pieces here, as well as reworked items, 1OF1 products, bootlegs, and creations by local brands. We select every piece to fit our collection and aesthetic.
Do you buy clothes from the public?
We don't buy from suppliers. We source and select our own products to ensure they fit the Vintage therapy collection.
VT glossary
What does REWORKED mean?
These are original vintage or secondhand pieces that have been given a new look here — we alter the cuts, resew them, or use them to create entirely new pieces. Much of our reworked collection is made right here in the Czech Republic (in our workshop).
What does 1OF1 mean?
A one-off piece that won’t be made again. 1OF1 products are made individually, and each one is an original.
What does BOOTLEG mean?
A bootleg is an unofficial product inspired by a well-known person, brand, music, sport, or pop culture. Bootleg culture has a long history, especially in music and streetwear — it’s known for bold graphics, reworking familiar motifs, and designs that were never officially released. Here you’ll mostly find pieces inspired by the aesthetic of ’90s bootleg merch.
What are LOCAL BRANDS?
A selection of creations from smaller local brands and creatives, which we feature alongside our vintage collection.
Where to find us
Do you have a physical store as well?
We have two locations right in the center of Prague.
You’ll find Vintage therapy at Ostrovní 22 and Vintage therapy Atelier at Bílkova 6. Each location may have a slightly different selection, so it’s worth checking out both. :)
Do both stores have the same products?
No. Each store has its own selection, and the assortment changes regularly. So if you’re passing both, we recommend going on a treasure hunt at both. :p
Is the same merchandise available in the online shop as in the physical stores?
The selection may vary. We have lots of unique one-off pieces, so you’ll find some online, some in our stores, and others move between them from time to time.
Shopping & Products
Why is there often only one of each product?
Because most of our vintage selection consists of unique original pieces, once someone buys one, we usually can’t find another just like it. So yes — the saying applies a little more to vintage than elsewhere: first come, first served…😄
What condition are the vintage items in?
We inspect each piece individually. Vintage items may show minor signs of a previous life — often, these are part of their character. We always mention more noticeable flaws in the product description.
How can I tell if it will fit me?
For our products, we list the size and, where necessary, the actual fit and flat measurements. With vintage items, sizes can vary quite a bit between brands and eras.
You can also contact customer support at zakaznici@vintagetherapy.cz, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have! :)
Do you sell authentic branded items?
For branded vintage and designer pieces, we try to select only items that we are confident are authentic. If a product has any specific information about its origin or condition, we include it in the description.
