I have a crepe top, obviously inspired by Celia Birtwell, which makes me think it may be early 1970s. Does this woven label (see image) bear out my idea that it is early 1970s and not an early 2000s-Celia-A-Like such as those which flooded the high street after her Topshop collaboration...

I am having trouble identifying what type of leather this is. It’s the most velvety leather I have ever felt, and it is extremely delicate and very easily stained with water/oils. It was an estate find and i tested a small spot on the base with a very lightly dampened cloth, and the leather...

Hello! I've had this dress for a while and have always thought it an interesting piece. My guess was that it dates 60s because of the length, the center back zipper and overall style. The only label is a very faded white square that states "Lot Sz 13." The dress itself is definitely a S/M when...

Hi Team, I'm from Australia and was shopping at my local OP shop and found this amazing coat. It's a cream Alpaca (Lama) wool coat knee length. I've attached some photos the tags have that 1950s /1960s look and are hand sewn in. The garment was handmade in London. I'm terrible with the shape...

Rochester NY had a great store "back in the day" named Edwards & Sons. It closed in 1972. Sad because it was a favorite in our family. I still have mom's "metal charge plate" somewhere in a box!! This dress was sold from that store in the late 1960s. When I found it in an estate, the...

I have aquired a vintage Liberty of London (Hildebrand) dress, but I am wondering how to date it. From my research I'm going to guess 1960's, but it is hard to tell. The main reason I don't think it is any older is because it has a plastic zipper. Is there a website with different style of...

I bought this lovely dress from the original owner this weekend. After bringing it home and discovering tags in the side as I unzipped it to put it on my mannequin, I went back to the sale to find out how she came to have it. She bought it new at Neiman Marcus in Dallas. Her aunt worked there...
