Yes, I saw that. Thank you. I still can't find what I'm looking for. Put a pin it for the moment. Too many other pieces to clean, research & post!

Label is from a Reyn Spooner reverse-print Hawaiian shirt. You don't have this label, but one similar to this font. Not certain of the date yet. Sorry. The shirt appears to be hand sewn--with a sewing machine that is. Also there's no fabric info tag. It could be an original! LOVE the surfer in...

Hi susan, I got distracted with other work & forgot I posted here! Yes, I see the "solds" on ebay, but it never talks about the designs or eras, or how they determined them. There are references to brands: Monkey, Fast Color & some others, but that's it. If I find anything I will definitely post...

My latest curiosity is dating & finding vintage bandanas. (I found an interesting--to me--one at an estate sale, but I SWEAR I can not find a good resource for dating them or comparing designs. (The one book I could find, my state library system doesn't carry, something out of Japan.) SO...here...

Caryn, I didn't even notice the little "V". Thanks. Well, will list it as it is, & give all the info I have. They are still very cute. Thanks.

So sorry. I thought I had uploaded the label too. This is inside the shoe. Yes, I've recently seen the Mexican shoe shop as well. Not sure if they are related.

I wasn't really looking for an "authentication". I'm familiar with The Vintage Fashion Guild as I've been dealing in vintage for many years & have always found the forums kind & helpful, not judging, thank you. Also, people like figuring out a mystery, as these are an interesting pair. And I...

I found these darling Lanvin leather booties. On the sole it says "made in Mexico" in Spanish. Also, the size says 24 1/2. I'm at a loss. They are very well made, beautifully soft leather inside & out. But hm... What do you think?

there you go! :)

These heels were made in Mexico. I'm not sure about the era. Originally I thought 70s, but the box heel...40s? What say you hive mind? :) Thank you!

Thank you!

Sounds good. There's no inside tag anywhere either, but they have all the bells & whistles of classic Levis. Thank you.

I don't believe these Levi's (small "e") are truly that old, but what about this upside-down--& flipped-over--Levi's red tag? It's surely a fluke, but hm.... :) thoughts? xo

You have Mondi listed in the tags, but not this one. I thought you might like it. 1980's novelty print wrap skirt

Hi Lynne, thank you. I can't seem to get those pages to translate. & can't find a thing anywhere else. Do you know anything? I would have NEVER come up with the name. :)

Thank you Mary Jane. Yes, my mom had a dress in a similar style in the 70s. I just didn't know what to call the fabric design. I LOVE this forum. So much information. :)

I can NOT make out this name on an Italian silk ascot--estate sale find, from a man who collected very find clothing. Men's wear is not my specialty. thank you! d xo

Thank you Melanie. My kind of dress to. So pretty, but also very tiny. Could not even get it to zip up on my mannequin. :(

The waist trim is sewn in.

I love this dress I found & design. It's one of those pieces, I believe, where you buy the fabric designed to BE a dress. The blue trim is in the design. Isn't there a name for this? The dress is hand sewn, cotton or cotton blend, metal zipper up the back, tiny buttons down the front, that wide...

Thank you. I can see that, in the photos I looked up. So many fabrics. :)

I'd like to add this photo to the Fabric resource section. I can't see a link for that, only the tags, which I do send over. Anyone? (Probably help if I put my reading glasses on). :)

It's like none I've ever seen. Thank you again. Will add that it's listing. The VFG is such a wonderful resource. I really should join. d, xo LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN (Please read forum posting rules)

Super close-up & the backside.

Hello Melanie, thank you! Yes, I'll shoot a close-up & a backside too, which is interesting as well. Rainy day. Let me find some good light & get back here. :)

I've looked in the fabric listings, but still not sure. It's fairly light weight, & has this puckered effect. Jacquard? I saw Matelasse too? Hm...

Thank It was a find. It is a little late in the season for a heavy wool coat. Still, I'll post it & see what happens. :) postingrulesemoti

wow, I don't how I could be so dense, but I haven't looked at the changing union labels! You're right. Well, what do you know. The 60s. :) thank you Maggie. And Linn too!

All I can find on Simonelli is that he worked for several designers, including Modelia from the late 60s to the early 80s--that's a long time span. This coat was made for "Lord & Taylor" so that could be any of those years as well. And the label (compared to the label resource doesn't nail it...

I bought this beautiful navy blue trench coat an estate sale. The only tag is Neiman Marcus. No designer clue except for these interesting buttons. Any thoughts? Thank you, d :)
