The easiest first step

Call or text about old clothing.

You do not need to know what the clothing is. Tell us what you found, roughly how much there is, and your general location.

Before you donate or discard old clothing, call or text and describe what you found.

Start with a simple description. Clear photos can follow by text or through the form.

No identification needed

Brand, age, and terminology can be unknown.

One piece or many

Single garments, collections, and estates are welcome.

Leave clothing as found

Do not clean, repair, or price anything first.

Nationwide inquiries

Begin with a call, text, and a few useful photos.

What to include

A short description is enough.

Share what you can see. You do not need to research labels or determine a date before reaching out.

  • Your general location
  • Whether it is one piece, a few garments, or a larger group
  • Full front and back photos when practical
  • Labels, markings, repairs, wear, and anything unusual

Supplemental website option

Send an inquiry and photos.

The website form is available if you prefer it. Texting remains the primary photo path, especially when files are large or a mobile upload fails.

Required fields are marked with an asterisk.

Your contact information
What you found
Brand, age, or vintage terminology is not required.
Photos

JPEG or PNG is safest. Keep the combined selection below 9 MB. HEIC and delivery of several mobile photos remain provisional; if an upload fails, text the photos to (323) 301-3593.

Text instead

This form sends through FormSubmit and may show a spam check. Multi-photo mobile delivery is still being tested end to end. A confirmation means the request was accepted, but texting is the safer fallback for large or important photo sets.

What happens next

A straightforward review, one step at a time.

  1. Step 1

    We review what you send

    Your description and photos help determine whether the clothing fits what Dust Em Vintage buys.

  2. Step 2

    We ask useful questions

    If more information would help, we may request another label, detail, group photo, or quantity estimate.

  3. Step 3

    We discuss the practical next step

    That may mean more photos or shipping. For a worthwhile larger collection, it may include pickup, travel, or an in-person review.

Common contact questions

What happens first?

Do I need to know what the clothing is?

No. A simple description and clear photos are enough to begin.

Should I call or text?

Calling is the clearest first step. Texting is also welcome and is the easiest way to send photos.

Can I arrange an in-person visit?

That may be discussed for an appropriate larger collection after an initial call and photo review. It is not a standard appraisal service.
