About Us
SIMON & NIKLAS
From Lovers for Lovers is the motto here! The idea for Double Double Vintage was born out of a shared passion for vintage clothing, for the NBA & US sports in general and for the music and pop culture of the 90s & 00s. What started in 2018 in Niklas' grandparents' basement and with endless flea market weekends has evolved a little further. We are passionate about digging up treasures from the past and making more people aware of the benefits of vintage clothing.
Why Vintage?
For us, there's no better feeling than finding that one vintage T-shirt that you've never seen before and didn't even know existed. Every vintage item is unique and has it's own story. Whether it's the print, the special embroidery or the perfectly washed out fabric that modern fashion companies are desperately trying to replicate. In contrast to today's fashion, the 90s were all about quality. That's why you find a lot of "Made in USA", heavy cotton fabrics and high-quality materials in our products. So for us, it doesn't make sense that a piece should be generally less valuable just because it's been worn, when it's actually much more special than most of today's fashion. And we haven't even started on sustainability yet.
Travel Back in Time!
Our selection is curated with passion and care. We source our items from all over Europe and beyond. While our focus is on vintage sportswear from brands such as Nike, adidas, Reebok, Fila, & Co, as well as rarities from the US sports sector (NFL, NBA & Co), you will also find many unique pieces with pop culture references, such as from TV series, film, music and more. There are also plenty of college jackets & sweaters, vintage Carhartt, classic brands such as Polo or Tommy, as well as a selection of Y2K stuff!
Vintage vs. Second Hand
While many people don't make a difference between the two, there is a big difference within our community. While second-hand simply refers to any kind of used clothing regardless of age, a genuine vintage piece should be at least 15 years old. Compared to second hand stores, you will find a carefully sorted selection of unique pieces from the 90s and 2000s in our vintage store. Each of our items is hand-selected by us and requires a fair amount of time and care before it goes online. Washing, sorting, photographing and uploading are all part of the extensive process an item goes through to ensure you get the best possible shopping experience. We appreciate everyone who understands how much effort it takes to run an online store with unique items only and that our selection of products has a special value for us and many others.
