Hello all, I had the wonderful luck of purchasing some Schiaparelli purses, I have done a little research but still having difficulty, I have seen one label in the label resource which looks identical from a late 50s sweater. The style of the purse looks earlier, possibly 40s to me so was...

Hello, I am new to the VFG forums. I have been collecting for around 25 years (since I was about 15) and I am currently selling most of my collection online. I have hit a wall with faux fur fabrics. There is a type of fabric that I am very familiar with from 20s/30s garments. It consists of a...

I purchased this Levi's denim button up off eBay a few days ago. I was hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of how old this is? The care tags are completely faded. Because of the small e and trademark I'm guessing 80's or 90's. Thanks!
