Vintage on Tap is dedicated to 1940s and 1950s vintage, leaning into the beautiful fashion and culture which we get to enjoy and recreate today. This blog takes a fun, kitsch, and modern approach in highlighting Vintage Fashion not Vintage Values, leaning into all things from the era as well as sharing a candid, behind-the-scenes perspective on building the Vintage on Tap YouTube channel.

The site is lovingly created by Bianca and Jose, unless otherwise stated.
