Gorgeous 1930s silk satin gown just listed 😱 My vintage preferences have changed so much in the last 10+ years, and if I was a bride today this is what I would choose. There is nothing more romantic than the 1930s 🦢🌙🥀

Most vintage lovers know Dior, Balmain, and Givenchy. But Jacques Griffe was another important name in postwar French fashion, celebrated for his impeccable tailoring and architectural silhouettes.

While Dior became a household name, Jacques Griffe earned the respect of other fashion insiders with his masterful draping and impeccable craftsmanship.

I was shocked & thrilled to find this black wool Jacques Griffe Evolution Paris dress, dating to the early 1960s.

Museum-worthy history, but wearable enough for a cocktail party tomorrow. Now available in my shop.

Father’s Day Find 🌴

These matching Diamond Head Sportswear Hawaiian shirts have somehow stayed together for more than 60 years 😱

Made in Hawaii in the early 1960s, one for Dad and one for his little sidekick 🌴

Both shirts are now available in the shop (listed separately). 💛

I love when vintage research leads to some interesting discoveries. ✨

This Carolyn Schnurer for Vergelaze sundress is made from almost the same exact embroidered fabric as a Carolyn Schnurer swimsuit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection. 💛🌼

I don’t sell a lot of vintage men’s… but I went to an estate a few weeks back for some 50s dresses and got to talking about how I like the really old stuff… well the husband said, “I have something you’ll like!” And went and got this jacket stuffed in the back of a closet. He said his uncle gave it to him in the 1960s and it was already “really old” back then. It was his uncle’s in Germany who was a miner ⚒️I’ve never seen anything like it, have you? Thankfully Jay was a good sport and modelled it for me 🫶 I can totally picture this on a lead singer on stage: David Bowie, Nick Cave and Roger Waters were all known to wear vintage military pieces.

Four vintage cuties from the tap shorts lingerie craze of the 1920s-1940s. These were made to be worn under slinky, shorter dresses than in previous years. So pretty and romantic and a few survive today ✨ I’ve just listed these four pairs in the shop,

Just listed ✨
This antique silk petticoat dates to the Gibson Girl era, around 1900–1905, when the fashionable silhouette was all about the dramatic S-curve shape created by corsets, tiny waists, and flowing trained skirts. The soft ruffles and longer back hem would have helped give movement and volume beneath an Edwardian gown. Over 100 years later, it is just as romantic 🕯️
