I actually thought it was strange too that they would attach mink tails to a polyester (at least that's what I think the fabric is) scarf. The beads are actually metal not glass if that makes any difference. Now that you mention it Barbara, I'm starting to recall scarves with some kind of tail...

I kind of want to now!:) You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for your input!

That's so interesting. I would've never guessed 80s/90s. I'm surprised I haven't found a single one like this online.

Hello Everyone! Your expertise is needed yet again! I was wondering if you can help me date this scarf. I believe those are mink tails on the ends. I'm new to this, so I had never seen anything like this before. I've seen fur shawls or stoles with tail ends but never a fabric scarf. I haven't...

I am so in love with this cape! What kind of fur is that?

Thank you all for your input and advice!:)

Hi all! I'm sorry to bring this post to the top. But any information you might be able to give me about the type of fur it might be and/or a possible date, would be greatly appreciated. Also, if the picture are too big, or you'd like to see more I will gladly add more or adjust them. I checked...

Oh I see! It's so beautiful and timeless!

Could it be 70s? It reminds me of those maxi dresses/skirts that were really popular in the early 70s and today, of course! Not sure, but interested to hear what the others have to say!

Stunning! Just out of curiousity, what is the waist size? It looks so tiny!

Very cool! I love this!

Thank you all so much for sharing your knowledge and wonderful comments! It feel like it might be cotton with possibly some linen. It did remind me of the blouses I had seen women wear in the 50s and 60s movies with yes, capris or cigarette pants. Come to think of it Laura Petrie and Marianne...

Hello Again, I also have a fur wrap here. I was hoping you help me identify the fur (as best as you can) as well as the date. The fur is very soft and the coat itself is very glossy. I'm normally used to seeing a satin lining for furs, so I'm a little curious about this lining. I don't know if...

Hello Everyone! I was wondering if you can help me date this blouse. I don't know if you can tell but it has a ruffle neckline and the buttons are in the back. It's not labeled and there's something about the feel of it and the stitching that makes me think it was a homemade piece. Any ideas? If...

Thanks Jody!

Okay, this is interesting. I have a gold mesh evening bag and I could feel some crumbling inside the lining and as a result this weird grainy stuff gets all over the bag and on my hands. I've only used it once because of this. I'm not sure of its colour. Could this too be devil's dust?

Stunning!

Thanks everyone for your expertise! I'm learning so much from all of you! I'm actually going to keep these. I've actually been looking for this style shoe for a long time. Thank you so much for your interest, Anne!

Thanks you all so much for your help! I actually didn't realize it was a convertible clutch. I love it even more now!

OK I promise my next thread will have smaller photos! It seems like no matter how much I minimize them, they still come out huge! Sorry about that!

Hello again, I also have this purse here that needs dating. Is this considered brocade (I'm new at this!)? I was thinking perhaps 60s but I'm still learning. I thought the handle was interesting. I'm not sure about the fabric either. It does feel rather smooth and delicate. Any ideas? Thanks...

Apologies for the large size photos! Please let me know if you have trouble viewing them!

Hello Everyone, I hope you're all well! I was wondering if you could help me date these deep red suede wedges. When I first laid eyes on them, I thought they were reminiscent of the 40s because of the peep-toe. But part of me questioned that right away. Upon researching similar styles online...

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely make them smaller next time. In the meantime, I scaled down the photos from this thread. I don't know if you can tell, but this blouse is fairly long for a petite person. I'm 5"1 and it goes well passed my hips. There are no labels. Eighties does seem...

What a beautiful and timeless piece!

At first glance I thought it might be from the sixties. Of course, I'm still learning. What do you guys think? It looks like an evening piece. What kind of dress do you think it would have been worn over? If the pictures aren't clear, I will be happy to re-upload them!

I just wanted to thank you all for your help!

Hello again, Here is the other blouse that needs dating. I would actually consider it more of a jacket. It looks like something that would have gone over dress. But I could be wrong. I don't know if you can see them, but it has slits on the sides (if knowing that makes any difference in helping...

Hi Everyone! This is the first of two blouses I need help dating. I will post the second one in a new thread. What are your thoughts?

I love it! But is it really 80s? I'm no expert by any means. But at first glance I thought, late sixties/ early 70s boho. But again, I don't know if boleros were common back then. Either way, it's gorgeous!
