Basket Case-the VFG fashion parade for the week of July 31

Basket Case

Quick straw poll: What is the material most cherished for accessories in summer?

If you said straw, rattan or raffia, be-weave us, you would not be alone! This week the VFG will weave our magic as we celebrate all things fashionable woven out of straw, rattan and raffia, and their synthetic versions. So go ahead and BE a basket case this summer, with vintage fashion items that weave nothing to be desired!
