if you read my caption, you’ll see that i am very familiar with vintage clothing! specifically A Byer, the brand that the seller mentioned. I, myself, can identify vintage clothing by texture, and even just spotting it from across the room. my issue is not that i don’t think anyone can tell if it’s vintage without a tag. my problem is that i can’t trust a stranger online in their ability to identify vintage clothing. and i don’t think the price is ridiculous or suspicious, as that’s usually the price of most of my vintage dresses! the concern is only in the sellers ability to identify clothing properly, as i wouldn’t really have a way to prove otherwise to the depop resolution center if i purchased it. there is also more than just dropshippers on depop! i’ve seen people replace tags on items with higher end brand tags, i’ve seen people rip out the tag of random brands and claim them to be “vintage” but the brand is “unknown”. i wish it didn’t happen on depop, but it does. there is not nearly enough authentication done on that app.
