Vintage-Inspired Clothing for Women | Collectif

Collectif has been making vintage-inspired clothing since 2000 — new pieces cut to the shapes of the 1940s to the 1980s, rather than original second-hand garments. The full range spans dresses, separates, knitwear and outerwear in UK sizes 6 to 26.

Shop by Garment

Dresses are the core of the range, from full-skirted swing dresses to narrow pencil dresses. For separates, see tops and blouses, skirts, trousers and shorts and waistcoats. For layering, knitwear and coats and jackets.

Shop by Decade

Each decade has its own proportions: 1940s tailoring, 1950s full skirts and defined waists, 1960s shorter hemlines, 1970s flares and 1980s statement shapes.

Shop by Style

If you dress to a particular look rather than a particular decade, see pin-up, rockabilly, dark academia and old money.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vintage-inspired clothing?

Vintage-inspired clothing is newly made clothing cut to the shapes and proportions of an earlier era. It is not second-hand. The silhouette follows the original period, while the fabric, sizing and construction are modern.

Is Collectif a vintage shop?

No. Collectif designs and sells its own vintage-inspired clothing rather than reselling original vintage garments. That means full size runs, consistent condition and modern care instructions, which original vintage cannot offer.

What sizes does Collectif offer?

Our clothing is available in UK sizes 6 to 26. Check our fit and size guide, and see our extended sizing range.
