Vendome was the "high end" division of Coro started in the 1940s. Thanks for the additional photos. I would say C. 1950s. You may be able to find replacement faux pearls and glue them into the clasp.

Hi Lauren - Very pretty "simulated" pearls. Yes, they are glass with a coating. This Vendome label was used from 1944 -1970. I would date your necklace C.1950s - early 1960s. If you could take another close-up of the clasp/catch that might help to pin it down. Thanks!

It has a '70s label - but I see more "Russian" than "Hippie." https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/ungaro-emanuel/

The pattern and colors in your fabric are very traditional so it could be '60s and it could be later. I am an interior designer. I am retired but I still have quite a stash of fabric samples and fabrics in my garage. I took this photo about 10 minutes ago on my phone. The photo shows...

It's possible that it is multipurpose fabric - if it's heavy enough. Is there a "selvage" on one side? It looks like the bottom of the bolt has a rolled edge?

To add to this - fabric meant for multi-purpose home sewing like draperies, curtains, pillows, etc. has been 48" since the '60s. Heavier multi-purpose fabrics meant for upholstery is usually 54" wide. Sometimes European fabrics are wider. I love the way you have draped the fabric to...

Hi Sheryl - Welcome to the VFG Forums! I am not an expert on gloves. I think most of the gloves you have shown us are C. 1950s - 1960s and are not homemade - with the possible exception of the camel/tan ones and those might just not be in great shape! The crocheted gloves that were made...

Your dress looks C. 50s to me. It could be very early '60s.

Congratulations! The gown is lovely and a perfect fit. Could you take more photos or have someone take more photos of you in the dress. That might help us date it and possibly identify when it is from. Thanks!

WOW!!!! Thank you all for showing these amazing hats. Janice - you are indeed a great hat model. MJ - I LOVE the tilt hat. Susanne, you look great in your Edwardian attire.

I agree with '50s - and it's lovely. Does it have a zipper - and is it metal? To be really sure about the date, we'd have to see some of the interior construction - but it looks like '50s to me.

Schiaparelli Earrings - the bumpy stones are sometimes called "Moon Rocks." Schiaparelli Hattie Carnegie - Japanned Brooch I am fairly sure that these pieces were made after the design houses licensed their names. But - this Eisenberg Original piece was designed by Ruth Kampke:

Great hats! I can see why you love those hats, Suzanne - and the hot box!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing more - hats!

Lynne - That is great information! I have always wondered about this hat. Thank you!!! I think it's probably late '30s from the style and this information.

It's March now - and where I live (Hawaii) it's been so windy that my hat blew off while I was walking yesterday. But for many it's still cool enough to cover our heads. For this week's "Spotlight" let's share some of our favorite vintage hats. Here a a couple of mine. I've never...

Hi Coppelia - i am not an expert in fur - hopefully someone who is will take a look. I think your fur might be dyed. I think it's sheared beaver: https://vintagefashionguild.org/fur-resource/beaver/

It looks like raccoon to me, too. Have you checked the VFG Fur Resource? https://vintagefashionguild.org/fur-resource/racoon/

Hi Mikmik - Welcome to the Forums. I don't know the answer to your question but hopefully someone will come along who can help. You might try to contact Gucci if you are not successful. Very nice bags!

Hi - Welcome to the Forum. This is not my area of expertise but many of our members know a lot about jeans and hopefully someone will come along and help answer your question!

The first place I would check is the VFG Label Resource to see if we have an entry on that designer. You can access it from our homepage. https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource If I don't find something there, I will do a Google Search. Some of our members have subscriptions to...

This is lovely. Maggie. Thank you for sharing it. I wonder if there is a way you could wrap the catch of the necklace and a little bit of the chain in a very soft fabric to keep it off your neck. Or maybe use tiny dress clips to attach it to the front of a top or dress. Or wear it...

Janine - It's not mine. I repaired it for a dealer friend. The Asian Princesses needed glueing as I remember. As mentioned - I don't collect Selro/Seilini. My collection is mostly earlier and mostly Art Deco and Retro. (But there is a bit of little bit of glitz, and a lot of Bakelite...

I can see Selini/Selro in the figures but the rest of it doesn't look familiar to me - and I am not a Selini/Selro collector so am not the best person to comment. This is the only set I ever handled - I repaired it. You could try doing a search for Selini/Selro and see if your necklace...

What a fun print! Thanks for showing it!!!

Fabulous! The Pinterest Board is wonderful. I thought I had a Bakelite heart but I don't.

Hi Robin - Welcome to the VFG Forum. Thank you for posting about your cape. I checked our Label Resource (accessible from our homepage). We do not have your label but we have a very long and thorough entry on Liberty of London: https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/liberty/ The...

Although Valentine's Day was a few days ago, it's always fun to wear clothing and jewelry with heart motifs. Here are two of mine: C. 1930s Glass Dress Clip set in Potmetal Rhodium plated unsigned late 1930s Dress Clip Please share your pieces!

Thank you so much for sharing this piece. I am absolutely not an expert on older garments, but I agree that it is unlikely that it would be hand-sewn if it were a costume. I "think" the rust spots are from earlier buttons or fasteners - with metal shanks or parts. You mentioned that you...
