    Cleaning a velvet Rosenberg purse...?

    I don't have experience with this either. I agree that it is crocking, and would start with brushing it. I haven't used a suede protector spray, which is designed to keep water out of the suede, but I can imagine trying it as a way to keep the powder from wrecking your clothes. If it works, it...

    Waist higher at the back of these retro pants, what would you call this style?

    Would you please show the labels? And are these men's or women's? Are they cropped in length?

    Help to date this Ungaro blazer

    Love it! Such an Ungaro bright lime green! The label is quite like the one used in a 1990s tie in our Label Resource https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/item/label/ungaro-emanuel/ and if the skirt is short as you say, I'm inclined to think this is early 90s.

    From Pierrot to Beetlejuice: The Allure of Black and White—The Vintage Fashion Parade for the week of December 16, 2024

    From Pierrot to Beetlejuice: The Allure of Black and White Dig it in dots. Strut it in stripes. Rock it out in checks, plaid or graphic blocks. There’s simply no wrong way to wear iconic black and white. Even a pop of another hue just turns up the volume on this color combination’s basic...

    35" printed raw silk - HELP! When/where was this made?

    I love that! I believe it is silk noil. https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/item/fabric/silk-noil/ The theme and style looks 1950s-era to me. That gold over print seems to mostly date from that time.

    Filson Cruiser questions

    This one I remember finding harder to pin down than other manufactured fibers. I don't know if you read my entry on it: https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/item/fabric/acrylic/. There seems to have been a stretch of time before it was incorporated into manufactured fabric—perhaps delayed...

    Filson Cruiser questions

    The label doesn't get any clearer I'm afraid, but it definitely doesn't show the sewing machine of the newer labels. I did hear from one person on Reddit that said that Filson used older union labels. I don't know his references. I just have to say that the union label predates the possibility...

    This looks like late 50s to me, bouclé wool. I love it too! I couldn't find an ad with the same coat by Donnybrook.

    Well, if you'd like to reweave it, more power to you! It sounds like a minimal issue that many of us would simply disclose in selling it.

    Filson Cruiser questions

    This is not my typical find and I've been doing research and am stuck on a point. It's a Filson Cruiser I believe. I found ads for Filson Cruisers dating from 1957 in the same 85% wool 15% Orlon blend. From Eugene Guard, 9/5/57 Orlon was introduced by Dupont in the early 1950s, yet this...

    Thank you for sharing this Laura! This is definitely a spectacular collection, including a 1917 Chanel embroidered coat. I think my favorite is Denise Poiret's alphabet smock but I wouldn't turn down this Balenciaga gown in bright pink.

    Can’t read the label, thanks much!

    Where is this located in the coat? Any chance we are looking at the owner's initials?
