I would recommend getting in contact with The Vintage Purse Museum - [email protected] as they are specialists in this area and have thousands of bags (many american) in their collection. I suspect they may have an idea of the manufacturer from the shape or embellishment. Do come back...

Teschnically, probably a flange, but thats not very pretty. I think I'd call them fins. Got to say, seeing it on a mannequin now, I think that's my favourite feature!

If the hairs are quite rough, it looks like it could be dyed hair-on calfskin.

Just to say the US and Canada can get BBC programmes on 'BritBox' subscription service (its not dear either at $5.99/month) sorry its not available in AUS :(

I'm curious what the figure at the top of the embroidery is meant to be doing? The skirt is suggestive of a woman and I can only think that stick is meant to be a gun, as there are animals in the fauna depicted, but that would be an unusual feature on a dress for sure! Any other ideas?

I think if you can steam this out it will be much more apparant how it's supposed to sit.

I think these are Ferragamo's own reproductions, either contemporary (modern) or from the 2000-2010, because I remember somewhere in there being a revival of the babydoll shoe style. I know I bought some new shoes that would pass for 1950's around that time. My mid 1950's Ferragamo's have...

I don't know if you still can, but I have in the past looked up shoe valuations on Kerry Taylor's auctions. She usually has a few pairs of shoes in each sale, shoes of this age won't be in every fashion auction but she has them more than any other platform I know of. I can't remember if it...

You have to think very conservatively with these jackets, as they are still sold today and worn as a staple by men of a certain age. I'd place this one in the late 1970s-1980s.

I don't think it's modern, but I've seen similar dated from the 1960's-1980's. The clasps are interesting I haven't seen that sort before. Not marked with a brand name or patent by any chance? that would help...

Very nice. I agree with the dating above and will also note it's very similar to a number of Mary Harnes dress sets I've seen. (I have one which is a green dress and jacket with waist detail similar to yours.

Hi Trish are you able to upload the images seperately please? as the montage isn't big enough to see what you are trying to show us.

these tweed caps are kind of timeless here, I've seen the plastic covered diamond label on caps dating from the 1990s to present day. Though the plastic covered ones tend to be more common in the 1970s-80s. Does it have a smaller fabric content label? is it 100% wool or mixed?

To me it looks like the printed copyright wording cut off the selvedge of some fabric and ironed on like a label.

The cylindrical heel was a short trend in the 2000s. I want to say around 2005 ish? will have to check a pair I have.
