Morphology
The meaning 'an aesthetic reminiscent of a past era' is directly derivable from combining 'vintage' (from an earlier period) with 'feel' (perceived mood or ambiance). This compositional, descriptive pattern is straightforward and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Vintage feel comes from the image of old objects and the mood they create. Vintage means old style and feel is the way something makes you feel, so a room or dress with a vintage feel 'reminds you of the past' and looks warm and classic.
