Vintage Clobber does not only buy vintage clothing. A wide range of vintage accessories, collectables, textiles, and related items are also considered.

Many people get in touch while clearing wardrobes, sorting through inherited belongings, downsizing, or dealing with house clearances where there is a mixture of vintage items rather than clothing alone.

This can include anything from vintage jewellery and bags through to textiles, luggage, military items, collectables, and smaller household pieces connected to earlier decades.

If you are unsure whether something is relevant, it is always worth asking.

If you are mainly looking to sell clothing, you can also visit the Sell Your Vintage Clothing page.

Vintage Accessories and Collectable Items

Vintage Clobber regularly considers a broad mix of vintage accessories and collectable items from across the 20th century.

This can include:

• Vintage jewellery
• Handbags and purses
• Hats and scarves
• Belts and accessories
• Vintage luggage
• Shoes and boots
• Military items
• Textiles and fabrics
• Sewing patterns
• Vintage fabrics
• Older fashion accessories

Some items are connected directly to vintage clothing, while others are simply older pieces that fit naturally alongside vintage fashion and collectable design.

Mixed collections are completely normal and do not need to be sorted perfectly before making contact.

Selling Vintage Jewellery

Vintage jewellery is often found alongside older wardrobes and inherited collections.

This can include:

• Costume jewellery
• Older necklaces and bracelets
• Vintage brooches
• Fashion jewellery from different eras
• Jewellery stored in boxes or drawers for years

Not every piece needs to be highly valuable or made from precious metals to be relevant. Older jewellery often attracts interest because of its style, design, materials, or connection to particular decades.

If you are unsure what you have, you can still get in touch and ask.

Vintage Bags, Shoes, and Accessories

Vintage accessories are a major part of vintage fashion and often appear during clearances, wardrobe sorting, and estate situations.

Vintage Clobber may consider:

• Leather bags
• Vintage handbags
• Suitcases and luggage
• Older shoes and boots
• Scarves and hats
• Belts and smaller accessories

Older branded items can also be of interest where relevant.

Many vintage accessories were produced very differently compared to modern equivalents, which is one reason they continue to attract interest today.

Vintage Textiles and Fabrics

Vintage textiles and sewing-related items are also regularly considered.

This can include:

• Dressmaking fabrics
• Sewing patterns
• Vintage textiles
• Older material rolls
• Costume fabrics
• Household textiles connected to vintage fashion

These types of items often turn up in lofts, wardrobes, cupboards, and sewing rooms during house clearances or while sorting through inherited belongings.

Military and Utility Items

Military clothing and related vintage items are another area often connected to larger vintage collections.

This can include:

• Military jackets
• Utility clothing
• Vintage uniforms
• Military accessories
• Older practical workwear

Many of these items appeal because of their durability, originality, and connection to particular periods of history and design.

Mixed Vintage Lots Welcome

Many people contacting Vintage Clobber do not have neatly organised collections. Often it is a mixture of clothing, accessories, jewellery, textiles, luggage, and older items collected over decades.

That is completely fine.

Vintage Clobber regularly deals with:

• Mixed wardrobes
• House clearance items
• Inherited belongings
• Loft and storage finds
• Collections built up over many years

You do not need to separate or identify everything before making contact.

• Sewing collections
• Fashion accessories
• Mixed vintage household items

Vintage Clobber understands that many people dealing with these situations are not collectors or vintage specialists. The process is kept as straightforward and approachable as possible.
