At what point do designer shoes become 'vintage' from a seller/buyer's point of view? [photos]

[heartshapedpositnotes]

Am planning to eBay (or Vestiaire?) some Gucci boots bought in early 2000's (let's say 2002) that have been sitting under my bed for about 15 years. At what point do you classify them as vintage? Should I even do that? Feel a bit bad putting boots up that are so old and people may think they're more recent. Could it even be a selling point?

They're in pretty good nick (very minor scuffs), due to buying them in the sale and being too small. (Have 'delightful' memories of a particularly painful sightseeing weekend in Paris ).

Also have no idea of price to put them up for Buy Now. Am wary of going straight to auction.

I wouldn’t mention the year. People can see the style.

Vintage is classed as anything over 20 years old. So your boots aren't quite vintage yet.

If you can I would hang on for a little longer.

The market is so big on Chelsea boots, brogues and all sorts of clumped things at the moment.

If you have a look on eBay there are some stunning knee high, high heeled boots going for buttons.

At some point (very soon I hope) that style of boots will come back with a bang and at that stage they will command a much higher price.

However if they were my size I would be telling you to put them on eBay where I would hunt those beauties down 😂

You could just list them as Gucci from the Tom Ford era
