Chapter 18: Antiques
【Episode 3: Antique Vint-age】
Shanghai has always been a fashionable and busy metropolis, and in this fashionable metropolis, famous brand stores and clothing stores are emerging one after another. Today, what Yin Eun-hye wants to take you into is a unique retro fashion store in Shanghai. Before going to this store with her, we have to talk about what retro culture is.
According to the international definition, vintage refers specifically to objects that have been around for at least 20 years since the 1920s. Within more than 70 years, there appeared Marlon Brando wearing levi’s, the rock star Elvis who loves tight leather pants, the punk army who is obsessed with viviennewestwood, and the Madonna wearing underwear... vintage is like a cultural epitome of a certain era. Buyers consume shoes, clothing and accessories on the surface, essentially representing their recognition of a certain value and culture.
In this era of continuous change of emerging things, will those old things that have been baptized by time attract you more?
Today Saturday, Yin Eun-hye met with Li Lina, Hawaii and Ou Youjia to go to Modern Time Chicken at No. 4, Lane 310, Urumqi Middle Road to select Vintage luxury bags and accessories.
This is a small shop full of antique big-name goods from the 1970s and 1980s, hidden deep in a nostalgic community.
The owner has collected many high-end retro clothing and accessories that are difficult to find on the market. Chanel alone has dozens of precious beautiful bags and accessories. The owner has specially opened a room to collect Chanel's items. Only those who come here to shop here often have the opportunity to open their eyes.
Of course, this place where women love to come has also become the best place for four urban girls to spend time and comment on men.
"Are you still satisfied with your diamond king Xiao Yong's performance after he comes back?" Li Lina asked.
"Satisfied? How can I be satisfied? I asked me to go to his house when I came back that day, and then took out a harrywinston necklace with confidence and told me to be his girlfriend and attend a banquet tomorrow night."
Hawaii's eyes shined and his mouth wide opened, saying, "Wow, this is an open and obvious expression of his feelings for you, just like the inaugural speaker telling the company leaders with high spirits how he will work hard for the company in the future."
Yoon Eun-hye sneered: "You are willing to believe in the inaugural speech? This is just some high-sounding reasons that employees have found for promotion. Maybe it is a template that has been down from Baidu Library."
"I heard from your tone, I feel that you are not too happy. Facing a string of necklaces that ordinary people dare not imagine, you are not moved this time. It is really not your style!" Hawaii showed an incredible expression.
"You don't know what happened that night. His ex-wife came over and told me that Xiao Yong is actually a playboy who can spend a lot of money on any woman! I think I should say goodbye to a man like Xiao Yong." Yin Eun-hye sighed.
Ou Youjia said at this time: "If you want to say goodbye to such a man, then you have to say goodbye to prada, chanel, louisvuitton and others at the same time. Remember, don't worry about his past. He may have been a notorious and unforgivable love center air conditioner, which has warmed any woman and has been possessed by many women. But now he is old and a man who has experienced marriage will be more or less restrained. This restraint is not because he has learned a lesson, but because his hormone levels are decreasing year by year."
Li Lina continued: "Youjia is right. Just like the retro products in this store, no matter how expensive it was before, it is now rare, exquisite, and charming, but it has been used and the price will naturally decrease. If you buy it, this product will become your unique style, and you don't have to worry about who will hit the bag. A man of this age should have entered his vintage. Let's call it "antiques" for the time being."
A man is like a commodity, and his ability to withstand the test of time is called a retro trend. Even if he has been used before, if he succeeds now, it is my only one. Why bother to care about the bellies and spirits before him?
"It seems that I am also an antique woman." Ou Youjia smiled and said, "Just wait for the person who has vision and really likes me to appear, loves my style and connotation, and does not care about my years. Of course, he must be able to afford me."
Yoon Eun Hye said to Ou Youjia: "But it's actually quite difficult to get me to take this step. Look at these retro bags, I really like them, and they are really unique and beautiful, but I couldn't help feeling scared when I think of this something that someone else used."
Ou Youjia said: "Now, urban men and women, who have no emotional record? I am afraid that even high school students are not as innocent as you think. Since Xiao Yong likes you, give him a chance. Don't listen to his ex-wife's one-sided words and throw away your love. If you are not careful about this kind of antique item, you may have bought it again next time you come back."
"Yes, and a woman who just divorced is crazy and can say anything." Li Lina said.
At this time, Ou Youjia glared at Li Lina, and Li Lina realized that she had said the wrong thing and whispered: "Youjia, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Xiao Yong's ex-wife."
Just then, Yoon Eun Hye saw a retro dinner bag she liked very much, and she picked it up and showed it to them: "How do you think?"
Li Lina first expressed her opinion: "I think it's good, buy it."
"But this is a dinner bag, I don't have many occasions to use."
Hawaii said: "Don't you have a dinner with Xiao Yong tomorrow night, it's just right in handy."
Yoon Eun Hye sighed: "I haven't decided whether to go to a dinner with him."
Ou Youjia said: "Don't take these things too seriously and follow your heart to do things. If you like this dinner bag, take it off. It's not that you can't afford it. If you give up today, maybe you will turn back and buy it tomorrow, and it will be gone."
Yoon Eun Hye looked at it and then, fantasizing about the charm she showed when she held the bag for ten thousand times, and at the same time, she fantasized about the loss of the bag for ten thousand times, and finally decided to buy it.
When they left the store, Hawaii persuaded: "Actually, I think the way to find people in love and workplace is the same. Experienced people are always hundreds of times better than inexperienced young people. Although many people say that experienced people are not loyal, cultivating new people can cultivate loyalty to the company. Now is the era, everything is put efficiency first. I. After working for so many years, why can't I see where the loyalty of the new people they cultivated is? On the contrary, experienced people, although they don't have much loyalty, we are willing to hire them just by just one point."
"What point?" Yoon Eun Hye asked curiously.
"Professional ethics! Experienced people enjoy reputation and reputation in the industry. Although they will not be loyal and courageous, they understand the rules and have professional qualities, and communicate with them simply and clearly."
