Hello everyone. I recently bought this vintage Harrods swing coat in a charity shop, but can't find any vintage Harrods garment that has the same label, and this logo isn't listed in the label resource either. The only place where i have found a similar logo was on 1940s adverts and a vintage...

I've inherited a gorgeous swing coat that belonged to my grandmother, then to my mother and now it belongs to me. My mother had it altered to fit her frame (grandma was a 6' tall, grey-eyed beauty of black Irish descent. My mother was a 5'8" stunner. Then there's me...the runt of the family at...

Hello, I received a mink coat for Christmas and was hoping someone could tell me about it as the designer label is missing. Thank you.

So I need help identifying the label below! It's the only thing on this coat which is styled like 1930s/1940s. From research on this type of label, it seems to line up with the year. BUT I have nothing else. This is the only label on the entire coat and I see no evidence of one being...

Found this lilli ann knits coat in grandma's estate no unlabeled aside from designer. Does the knit mean that the fabric is knit? Very heavy like wool. No size label either. Is this common? 1960's would be my guess based on when grandma would have worn something like this. However, it is in...

Just found this gem at a local vintage clothing shop. What type of fur is this? Owner said may be lamb. Are there different styles and quality of lamb? What time period? It looks like a pea coat style. What could be the value of a coat like this? The liner is coming loose around neck and sleeve...

hi guys! I was at a thrift shop the other day and I found this coat for a price I couldn’t resist. I am just curious as to white type of fur it is and from the style maybe from what time? The lining looks new and has no tags at all so I have no history

Hey everyone! I have this mink fur and leather coat I know it is mink someone said honey mink but I'm not sure in that? Also there are no labels what so ever apart from NEWEY ENGLAND poppers. Thanks you:)

hello I’m looking for some clarification on my grandmothers fur coat. She always said it was mink, now 18 years since her death I wonder if it is indeed mink. The label says Adolf Schulman for Lilli Ann made in England. I have a photo attached of all the markings I can find. By the look and...

I purchased this coat at a local thrift store in mint condition and I would like to know what time period it is from. There is no woolmark and no size on it. The buttons initially looked like leather but I think they are plastic and made to look like leather. I purchased it for my husband but it...

I bought a beautiful, soft, vintage fur coat today at a second hand store and I was hoping some kind soul might be able to offer some advice as to the likely type of fur it's made from. I am mainly wondering if I can clean it somehow or deodorise it, as it smells like the second hand store! It...

Hello All! I just found the coat below, and I have no idea where it comes from. It has no tags whatsoever. I had to buy it because it felt so nice and it was so long. I do believe it needs some love. The only clue I have is a NYC transit ticket from... 1995! Anyway. My questions are: Do you...

Hi All, I recently made a purchase on a Valentino Puffer Jacket with the below "Valentino Rain" and a curious "Made in Taiwan R.O.C." label. Unfortunately, I was unable to catch this detail at the time of purchase. To my own limited knowlege (and I could be wrong), I thought Valentino was a...

Hi I recently started about two years ago a vintage fur collection. I can identify most of the furs with the exception of 3 of them. This one has me stumped. I purchased this one at a second hand store locally. But it does not have any tags on it to narrow my search further. At first feel I...

Hi, I am new to this forum and have learned so much in just the short time I have discovered it. I love vintage furs and have been fairly successful identifying various types on my own through research here and online, but this one really stumped me. I hate when that happens. :duh2: I would...

Hi all, We bought a vintage coat from a little store here in Italy and we are trying hard to identify how old and where it comes from. I've included pictures of the coat itself, the hem, and the buttons which say, "Bretagne, A Ma Vie" so I assume it's french? But I don't know anything else...
