Hey! This is my first time posting here- I have a Bagatelle Made in Montreal jacket with an ILGW tag. I've attached a ton of photos, and I think I know a few things about it... I think the ILGWU label was used from the late 60's to the early 80's, but I'm totally unsure about this jacket's...

I found this silk black dress at a vintage shop, and found the faded yellow Dior label in the skirts. I'm assuming it's 50s / 60s era (correct me if I'm wrong!). Skirt is a bit below the knee But does anyone know what this old tag at the collar is? There is a number on it: "1969.171 ser." I...

I have a question about the age of this flannel petticoat, are there clues that would narrow it down? Also, what exactly is the style of embellishment called? It is flat brains, hand stitched down, similar to the way that rouleaux is applied. And lastly, it is an 18” waist, with a very wide...

Hello forum members! If anyone has information for me on this piece, I would greatly appreciate it. The manufacturer is a man named Ben J. GAM. I've had no luck researching this manufacturer/designer, other than his connection to Rita Gam and her connection to Grace Kelly in the 50s. So I...

I need help in determining the age of these pj's. The style of the top seems older - like 1930s-40s but the bottoms are shorts with an elastic waist. There is no evidence that they have been altered. That indicates to me that they are no later than 1950's. The shorts also have an odd inserted...

Wondering if anyone can give me an approximate age on these shoes?

Hi! This is my first post here. I recently thrifted this coat and I'm trying not find out if the label is genuine or not and if so, how old it is. Usually when I find this label is says "warranted to be a" above Pendleton, but this one doesn't have it. The coat seems like good quality, but I'd...

I sourced this vintage Levi’s jacket and am struggling narrowing down the date. It is an orange tabbed jacket with gold stitching and a white label-no leather patch. Can anyone give me any more information of when this was produced? Also any indication of what it would be worth?

Sorry, its me again. I've come across the following London Fog jacket (see photos) and wondered if anyone had an ideas about likely age? I've attached photos of the jacket itself, together with the internal label and tags. The jacket /copy seems 70s in style, but happy if anyone has any...

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...

I just got this trench coat thrifted in South Africa on the weekend. It’s had quite a world journey in its lifetime. From the brand logo and name, I assumed it was from the States or UK and had no luck coming up with any brand affiliations. I then discovered tags in the left hand inner pocket-...

I’m very new to the vintage fashion scene and would love help from all you lovely people dating a recent find. Disclaimer! I’m an amateur when it comes to fabric so the description is from my very limited knowledge. At first, I bought this item not on the pretense that it was vintage but...

Hi all! I got a small hand full of cameos in an auction lot of costume jewelry. Hoping someone can help me date them. There are no makers marks on any of them. Is it odd that they don’t have an fastener on them? Sorry in advanced for the lack of close ups. My phone can’t focus on teeny things...

I got this dress recently and am trying to narrow down when it might have possibly been designed. 2nd pic dress is on the far right Pretty thick shoulder pads, though not the thickest 40s ones I've seen. Rayon. Belt loops for a belt. I think it might be a tall size as the belt loops hit a...

Hi all! Does anyone know much about Emporio Armani? I have a black dress with an Emporio Armani label, but the seam label is in Italian and has a date on it marked 1973. I thought Emporio Armani didn't start until the 80s. Would love to know what year people think it could be from? Thanks so...

Hi! I came across this beautiful fur coat and am trying to determine a). The kind of fur and b). The decade. It is heavy and warm. It has pockets. The fur is dark brown/amber.

Hi Folks - Thanks for accepting me. I was directed over here for some help dating a dress by James Galanos, whom I know little about. The background is the owner was in Northern California and had a very large collection of designer goods from the mid 70's - mid 2000's. The bulk of it was...

Hello! I am an online seller and I thrift to find vintage finds and such. I am very new to it and don’t know much about vintage clothing, although I enjoy it! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify if this was a real Victoria’s Secret label, and if possible, what era is it from? Thank you!

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!

I was recently given this fur coat. I was told it is mink. I tried looking up information online based off what the tag says however I can’t find any information on it. Hoping to learn what year it was made, any history on it, and what it might be worth. The tag says C.J.Lurch Furs Designed By...

Any ideas more specific than 'old'? :) I asked a costumer and she suggested 18th/19th C and said I might have more luck on a forum dating it more specifically. I believe it's glass or rock crystal (bit scratched up on the face of it) and set into either pewter or silver. It's got the little...
