Once again the garment with no tags, but the fabric has interesting grid texture. The feel is more like rayon or cotton. But I was surprised to find out via burn test that it is silk. Semi transparent two-hole buttons with white backing. They are round and convex, and have a grid texture which...

Hello, I just received this Schiaparelli blazer, and I think it dates back to the 50s or 60s. It’s made in Italy, 100% wool, and the lining is made of Cupro. If anyone has information about Schiaparelli ready-to-wear licenses from that period, I’d love to know! Thank you in advance <3

Hi, I bought this skirt the other day from a local charity shop specialising in vintage fashion, but the shop’s owner wasn’t really sure where the skirt came from and I’m curious. It’s green velvet made from 100% cotton and, according to the label is from a German brand (Niedieck Brillant...

Hi! I specifically made this account to see if anyone could help me identify the possible brand/date of this jacket. I've been researching for HOURS lol. So here's the information - The brand label was cut out - It was created sometime between 1970-2003 because the textile label is Canadian...

Would appreciate your opinion on this one. It is homemade, the seams are zigzagged instead of surged. The vertical darts on shoulders, plastic buttons. The fabric is probably rayon / viscose, has that waffle like texture, this is the best way I can describe it. Would you call it it boxy? I can...

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...

Hi! I have this vintage toscana lamb fur coat, don’t know much about it so wanted to see if anyone has any guesses as to when it was made? ☺️ there are no labels so maybe the lining was replaced? Inside the pocket is the only label that says 100% viskose for the lining. It is incredibly soft and...

Hey folks! Would greatly appreciate any expertise dating this pair of genuine leather Tony Lama boots. Pictures of boot interior, sole and labels attached in hopes the details can help identify them. I’m stoked to have found them regardless of their age, but I get the feeling they’re quite old...

I found this in a thrift store, know nothing about vintage but was amazed at the condition of this coat and old-looking labels-- can someone help date it? It has a fully removable winter lining with its own label. I'm posting photos of all labels. I tried searching online but couldn't find any...

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...

Hi everyone, so I got these scarves that I think are at least from the 1960s. The first one is made by Sammy that was a popular British brand back then I think. The white one hasn’t got a maker tag but a terylene tag also tells 1960s or earlier. I think terylene was patented in 1941 so perhaps...

Hi I’m really puzzled about this one. Feels homemade, no tags, no surged seams. It is ankle or mid calf length depending on persons height. Really interesting lightweight fabric - it is silk according to a burn test. Double breasted front with pleats, elegant puffed shoulder, matching belt. No...

Hello! I recently acquired this beautiful Yves St Laurent dress but I cannot find too much information online. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I am curious if anyone can narrow this down to a single decade or has any interesting knowledge/ fun facts about the coat (Aka feel free to dump some interesting information on me). Description: Ruff wool with specks of bright colours woven into the wool, hood is lined with a softer wool that...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1950s-style pink gingham dress whose label reads "Styled by Miss Smith -- The American Look." When I research the brand online, I cannot find any information about it. The RN number led me to Gladstone Arcuni Inc., who owned Hattie Leeds, so maybe "Miss...

Hello I have a Marimekko cotton blouse, button up, with small pleats at the front. Neither Maripedia nor the online Marimekko design museum, nor a reverse image search has given me the name of the print. So I have 2 questions: 1. Any idea what decade this is from? 2. Any idea of the print...

I thrifted a D&G blazer a few years ago, it’s got a lace lining and embroidery, three buttons, and is beige. I’m not sure when it would be from or it’s worth and am just curious what people would think. It also says ittierre on the tag.

Hello everyone. I’m trying to date my wedding dress found in a sweet vintage shop in Vancouver BC. Love to hear your thoughts.

Hi! I recently found this London Fog winter coat at a thrift store and am having a hard time dating it... there doesn't seem to be a lot of resources around logos or date codes for London Fog. I'm hoping someone can impart their wisdom with me and help me date this baby... Details: Made in...

Hiya all, wondered if this Pendleton jacket is 60’s. It dosnt have the ‘r’ next to the wool symbol. I’m thinking the style & length look 60’s but could really do with some extra eyes on this please.

Wondering if anyone is familiar with this Leslie Fay Production Sample label. My research comes up empty. The dress has an 80s look to me but the Union label on it seems to date earlier? Any help would be appreciated!

I wonder if anyone could tell me the date of this photo? This beautiful woman is my grandmother. I am writing a family history. I think the photo is about 1918 but the hairstyle is unusual and looks more 1920 or so. Any thoughts are gratefully received thankyou.

Hi lovely formers & experts! I was lucky enough to but a huge lot of vintage Pendleton Jackets & shirts. Most are likely to be 80’s with quite a few 70’s and some poss 50’s-60’s and 90’s. There’s a few women th labels that are not yet in the label resource and I was hoping we could get some...

Hello! I just bought a cool grayish-blue London fog jacket from a thrift shop and am trying to learn more about it. I can't find any information other than "made in China" and the main label that says Limited Edition on it. It looks like a men's jacket as it has no defined waist but not 100%...

So I recently purchased a London Fog trench coat, a nice black color, and on the tag on the inside, it says it is a sterling edition and I have tried looking into if that was a specific line of coats but I haven't been able to find anything and was wondering if you all could help me figure out a...

Hello! Just wanted to see if anyone could give me some info on this piece! I think it's from the 80's, but I can't seem to find anything about the exact year/season. Any info on Balmain Ivoire the label would be helpful as well! Thanks :)

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows this necklace? I cannot find another like it. I have even emailed EA customer support and they have no clue, which leads me to believe it is, in fact, vintage. Does anyone have any information on this necklace? When and what the 'wood' pieces are made of...

I have an unusual Walborg handbag made in Italy. It has a cameo clasp and gold tone frame with an unusual stamp on it. I am trying to identify the marking as well as date the bag. Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks, Cheryl
