Look like it was German made - Dusseldorf.

I think Barbara is correct. Hard to describe but the work is finer. Smaller beads etc. 20s is more about beading and also metal mesh. Celluloid more 30s but of course there is overlap. Handbags are not my area of expertise, but I came into a quantity of 20s into early 30s bags, and am working...

Welcome Mike! So glad you joined us, and hoping you’ll join us in the forums regularly. You have a great selection of aloha shirts.

We generally need more than just the tag to be of much help. Can you post one or more photos of the garment itself? If you obtained it in the US, is there an RN number on the other side of the tag? I see it was made in Hong Kong - that does suggest it has a little age to it.

Thank you for letting us know. I'm sorry for your loss.

A little late, but the vintage for sale is still Fresh! Creator is Suzzane @Vintage Runway - enjoy.

@chloewilloughby I deleted the duplicate thread done about this skirt posted 15 minutes after this one. If you have reviewed our forum rules, you are aware that we are unable to authenticate items - that is typically done hands-on by a certified appraiser. But we can offer info - feel free to...

Thanks for pointing this out, Donna. No one had responded to the other thread yet so I will delete it.

20s T-strap flapper heels in black velvet and silver leather

It is very pretty. I agree that the label does not look 50s but could have been added later. I am getting a bit of a Church Hat vibe, but it's a hard call. It looks like the material used is the same for the outer crown, band, and both sides of the brim? If yes, it would be some sort of fabric...

Love your sizzle! Welcome to the VFG, Allan. helloemoti And omigosh I haven't thought about Model Mayhem for awhile. My DD, who is also my live model for vintage when she is in town, still has a page on MM (I think).

Not fur, but this 1939 Coats & Clark pattern offers a contemporaneous crocheted version of the 30s/40s tilted Cossack style hat. I think even the added feather accent is crocheted!

Huh. It sounds like it would work similarly to the "magic erasers" like Mr Clean offers. Does it matter whether a metal file or glass file?

It is wonderful that we have so many options for in person shopping with VFG members! I need to plan a road trip.

Does it seem to be leather or faux? If leather, it looks like it may be embossed into the reptile scale pattern. If it's real reptile (alligator or other) there should be a bit of lift at the edge of some of the scales. Is the handle metallic or cord? I'm not a handbag expert but we do have a...

Your shop looks wonderful, Carla. Welcome to the Vintage Fashion Guild!! helloemoti

Welcome Margaux! Looking forward to getting to know you, and hope to see you in the public - and private - forums regularly. tip my hat

Bumping for you - hopefully someone who knows about stockings will be along.

Welcome to the VFG forums! I added a tag for levistrauss to your original post - if you click on it, you will see all other public forum threads that used that tag - there is an ongoing thread that is up to 4 pages that may offer some help. We have a registered guest @JimR56 who collects Levis...

Love the red lining! I do see a Luti handbag with the original dust cover listed on eBay, as well as a few other items. It's not a brand I have seen. Bumping for you to see if anyone else has some info.

If you would like to introduce yourself, and check out forum rules and FAQs, you can do that HERE. But welcome! Great shoes, and definitely older. 20s looks like a good possibility. Photos from the side that show the shape of the heel will help with dating.

We have a new Fresh Vintage video available on the VFG's YouTube channel. Please consider subscribing (it's free), Liking, Commenting, Sharing.

You are welcome! From a 2017 NY Times article: What Does Couture Actually Mean? "haute couture, by its very nature, is an archaic throwback. It is only produced in Paris, by a handful of designers (14 officially) and presented twice a year, in January and July. Haute couture pieces are...

My understanding has also been that these are old dry cleaning tags. I wonder if Greengrove was the customer's last name? And perhaps the 5 digits are her zip code? Just guessing.

I walked through the flagship Galeries Lafayette in the 9th arrondissement on my first trip to Paris in 2017. It is a huge and overwhelming place - 750,000 SF! And almost all of it is high end fashion. According to Nouchi's website, he started his own label in 2017. It does also mention the...

I love the colors! They did a nice job matching the plaid too.
