Format for Selling Vintage Linens Online
If you want faster online sales of your vintage linens, better prices, and happy customers, please follow the directions laid out on this page!
First start with a couple sentences that describe the pattern. Mention the main graphics such as plaid, sunflowers, roses, dishes, kitchen tools, farm, vegetable, waiters, animals, vehicles, etc.
Add these details as a list:
- Size: Measure the item, accurate numbers make a huge difference.
- Fiber: Linen? Cotton? Polyester? Rayon? If you don’t know say that.
- Manufacturer: Mention any paper labels or cloth tags.
- Probable Decade: Skip this if you don’t know.
- Condition: This is where you mention any stains, tears, holes, odor, fading, hem condition and whether you have laundered this.
- Pictures should show the whole piece clear out to the edges so the buyer can judge condition. Take close-ups of the design to show detail and be sure to show any damage.
Do not use general AI generated verbiage such as:
“This original tablecloth exudes a vintage style that adds a touch of elegance to any dining table. Originating from the United States, this rectangular tablecloth captures the essence of flowers and plants, making it a unique and timeless addition to any collection of kitchen linens and textiles.”
This tells the buyer nothing and causes frustration on their part.
