Hi, all. I'm in love with this forum! Earlier in the year a friend handed me some Trigere, Galanos, a Halston, etc. All fablous, mostly 1970s, 1980s, all from estate of recently deceased wealthy Holmby Hills art collector. So, I found VFG label research page and started selling the stuff. (Been selling antique-y stuff on line for years). Now I pick up vintage designer goodies when I find them and frequently check VFG label site for dates. So - just discovered the forum! I waste (or do I mean luxuriate in) hours upon hours of time researching before I list an item. Everything is learned on a per item basis. Usually it doesn't help when I pick up the next goody at thrift store or garage sale. Which brings me to what I'll be researching next. Swear to God I stopped by garage type sale at famous old Hollywood apartment building early Saturday morning (mostly seniors living there) and bought 7 pieces of lingerie, appearing to be 1920s or '30s. Mostly labeled 'Imported, hand made'. Obviously all by same manufacturer. Chinese I think. So, I'll be asking about that 'cause I know absolutely nothing about silk, lace, netting, stitches, etc. I could easily get lost reading past posts. Must restrain myself. Thanks for being here.
