Hi, I am not sure which this blouse decade might be. think of 80s but maybe is some decade before? But I don't have experience before 70s, so, better to ask. Thanks
Hi Lulu, Still trying to navigate and learn about vintage. Did a trademark search and found this. Don't know if they made garments before date listed below. Hope this helps a tad.

Hi Chiquita. Thanks for your answer. So it seems it isn't Vintage, right? I still don't understand well enough the trade mark webs. Would need to Find some in Spanish, I Think. If it isn't Vintage, I'll keep it for me. I thought it was, maybe not.... Thanks
I don't think it's vintage. I am new to all this too and I've bought items I thought were vintage and when I researched I discovered they were recent items. I am seeing a lot of new garments that are vintage-styled...copying older styles. Is it possible that the garment may have been made earlier but the trademark was registered later? I wonder if someone can weigh in about trademarks. That would help out! . Let me know if you ever need help with trademark search. Will help out however I can. Learning as I go
Definitely vintage - . It appears to be an Italian company. Are there any other labels on the blouse such as fabric or care symbols?
I have been confused by having companies in the same name reappear in different eras before - so I think the Maurice Abot you fount was a different one from the blouse. The blouse looks pretty typical of mid 50s to early 60s - the sort of thing I would expect to see a teenager wear with a full 'poodle' skirt and flats.
Thanks, Jonathan, I was thinking it might be of an earlier era than 80s and 70s but it was risky to say as I don't have very few experience with clothing before 70s. But the label looks old too... I don't have any more pictures now but I looked composition and it's made of linen and cotton.
Hi Déborah! I found the composition and it's linen and c0tton but I am not able to take a picture now. Thanks so much!
Hi Chiquita, I am not soooo new on vintage clothing... But I have not experience with clothing before 70s and I'm usually quite prudent. And I like to ask a lot because I don't want to fail on the listings in my shop. Thanks for your search, anyway!
No problem. That is pretty neat. Didn't know they reuse the names. Good info to know. Thanks all. Definitely learning. I am totally new to vintage
I didn't know neither! And when I look to trade Mark webs all what I get is si technical vocabulary I don't understand... Because I am Spanish. And translators doesn't work very well on those. I will keep trying, though. Sincerely thanks for looking it for me!
that's a good idea. I thought the same when you post that you have some clothes that look Vintage but they aren't. Maybe some of them are
