1980s

Would love to hear your thoughts on dating this one. Initially I thought this to be an 80s does 40s dress. Mainly because of the label center back placement, the label sadly was cut off. No sign of care labels in other places though, which could point out to an earlier date. This is probably a...

I have searched high and low for this label and cannot find the company! The buttons say SFWD on them as well. This has simple labels. Does anyone have any information on this company? Based on it saying "made in Hong Kong" and the style I'm assuming it's 80s. Thanks!

What are your thoughts on this one? I usually find pussy bow blouses and dresses from the late 1970s - early 1980s era. But isn’t the silhouette on this one is more of a 1960s style? Could it be early 1970s then? It is knee length and probably homemade, no tags. Also 99% chance it is a European...

Hello all, I recently bought a beautiful jersey velvet dress with white beading at an estate sale. The one tag is a Valentino Boutique tag. However, there is no 'made in italy' tag, no lining, and the seams are finished by overlock stitch. The beading is sewn onto separate pieces of velvet...

Hi all, I would love to have some help in dating this pink dress. My guess is that it's not so old (80s maybe). The dress is quite a strange shade of pink (not sure how I would call it, maybe a kind of salmon pink) and it has no label at all. I looked everywhere but couldn't even find a spot...

Hi, This forum has been such a great help to me, I'm very grateful. I have had these beautiful leather boots for some time, but have never worn them. I think these date from the 80s, but am open to correction. They are beautifully made. One thing I know for sure is that they are Italian made...

Hi, I'm pretty new to buying vintage and Gunne Sax in particular and wanted some help in identifying this label. I've read that labels like this were used for dresses made in the late 70s - 90s and wanted to know how to note distinctions between the decades!

Looking for this beautiful maxi floral striped wrap/tie dress from Oscar de la Renta. Has ruffled lace edge details and puff sleeves. Any idea what year this could be from or if anyone knows I could find one would be super helpful! I haven't been able to find ANY other photos of this dress...

Hi there, Recently came across I believe this 80s wool and nylon sweater. It’s in great condition. However I do not recognize this company at all. Does anyone recognize this label or company? It’s is by Chesapeake and Potomac by Roy Thomas. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced!

Long shot, but if anyone recognises this label at all I would be very grateful! From a beautiful prairie dress, possibly 70's or 80's

Found this beautiful Gianni Versace Couture suit jacket and trousers at my local charity shop for £20, absolute bargain no doubt in my mind it's authentic, however I was wonder what sort of age you'd date this ? I've had mainline Gianni Versace clothing for 2001, as well as older Versace Jeans...

Hello, My name is Alix, and I am looking for a certain vintage jacket. I am searching for a jacket that is the same make and design as the one worn by Matt Dillon in the photograph below, which is from 1983. If someone could point me in the right direction and help me find a vintage jacket from...

Hi all! Came across this Marimekko all-cotton blouse at a thrift store and have not been able to accurately date it. In the pictures attached, you can see it's not a typical print, and the geometric shapes, colors, and 'puffy' sleeves lead me to believe 80s? Maybe 90s? There's only one tag...

I need some help on this Chanel Bag. I know it's from 1986-1988 due to the serial number. I believe it is a Classic Chanel Small Flap Bag but I am unsure if that would be the correct title for the bag. Did Chanel produce bags in the late 80s in dark green? That's what this bags color seems to...

Hi all, My friend found these guess jeans at a local thrift, and we are trying to identify the era, but it is hard to find exactly the same label online. The stripes on the pocket and inner waistband make me think 90s? Any help is much appreciated!!

Hello all! So happy to find this forum and I'm excited to be part of this community! Today I found what I think is an 80's(?) sequined jacket at a thrift store and I'm having a hard time finding any info online about the label. Am I right to interpret the label as "PMIBE"? Has anyone heard of this?

Hello, I bought a pretty red PVC dress on ebay with the label "Chrissie Walsh" the label looks like it is somewhat new style and the dress looks pretty clean. So doubt its from the 80's however when I search "Chrissie Walsh" i only find 80's references. Can anyone shed light on this label...

Hello Everybody, I recently got an Escada Couture gown from a late distant relative. It is Escada Couture from (most likely) the 80s or early 90s. I have seen a few other Escada pieces from that time online, that feature the same distinct sunflower embroidery. So, I am guessing, it is part of a...

Hello everyone So today I got this leather jacket, it immediately stood out because of the rings, i've never seen something like this. I think it from the 80s, what do you guys think? Does anyone know anything about the brand/label, or does it remind you of something, id love to know more about...

Hello All, Here is a 100% silk dress in fuscia which I adore (alas way too small for me!) In describing it to another, I ran into myself not knowing what certain features are called. My thought was to describe the dress as "80s does 40s" but what does one call that asymmetrical apron piece on...

So I just found this pair of what seem to be 1981-1985 501 redlines but the red tab is different than any I've seen before. It's bigger, thinner, doesn't have the "r", and has "Levi's" printed on to the tab apposed to embroidered. Does anyone know what the deal with this is?

So I recently acquired an assortment of costume jewelry which I have a range of questions about depending on the item. The jewelry I have been able to give tentative dates for seem to indicate most of the jewelry falls in the 70's to early 90's range but there might be an oddball or two in here...
