Barcode Scanner Technology

As part of her product design project at Glasgow School of Art, Anna McCahon has asked us here at Sew Vintage to introduce a new concept within the vintage clothing industry. If you love all things vintage and are an avid techno-kid, this is for you.

Here's how it works: Anna has produced unique barcodes for a selction of our vintage clothing, to be scanned using your smartphone. Upon scanning, a history of the item will appear on your phone, giving you the specific background to the piece. Not only giving you the specific era the piece derives from, you will find out when the item has been worn in the past, and by whom.

This innovative piece of technology is something we find very exciting, as alot of our items we have for sale here at Sew Vintage have been sourced from unusual and interesting places - so we love the idea of passing this information onto you at your leisure.

So, the next time you're browsing around our boutique, grab your phone and scan away - you'll be surprised at what you can learn!
