What defines something as vintage?

The term vintage covers many product categories. For example, if we talk about technology, the older products are much newer than other products in other vintage categories, since technological advances are very fast. As a general rule, vintage products are usually between 20 and 100 years old. However, when it comes to vintage patterns and fabrics, they were generally created in the mid-20th century. All other embroidery creations or embroidery motifs and designs that are over 100 years old are considered antiques.
