The VFG believes that informed selling and buying communities are good for the vintage-fashion industry as a whole, and all visitors to the website have access to the VFG resources. These are continually updated and constantly evolving, thanks to a dedicated volunteer staff.
Our blog features our picks of the freshest vintage items, member news and articles. We have also created a growing series of articles on some classic designers.

The outer coarse guard hair of llamas is used primarily for rugs, wall hangings and ropes. The finer undercoat is used for garments. Found mainly in South America, the color ranges from white to brown and black.
A hollow fiber, llama is very warm for its weight. It has a natural capacity to regulate moisture (wicking). Llama garments shed moisture and are warm when wet.
Alpacas are members of the llama family. Alpaca is used for men’s and women’s suits, coats and sportswear, linings and sweaters. Some fine alpaca is used for women’s dresses.
