Dating Missoni - gray label

[katde]

Hi,

Can anyone help in dating this label please? The top was sourced in the US c. 2003 but I can find no references to the label history online. The garment is genuine.



Does anyone know of a good label database? I have one for YSL but can not find any good sources for other labels.

Thanks in advance

Have you checked the VFG label resource? The link at the top of this page is broken, but the link on the home page works.

Thanks Vintage Baubles for the quick reply & link. I've only just found this site so hadn't checked - there is a similar gray on gray label dating from the 2000's, so assume it's a variation pre M by Missoni.

this site is going to be very useful!

In case you missed it, the Label Resource says "In 1998 M Missoni, a lower cost line, was introduced."

The gray label in the Resource does have the M, but it is in the same gray thread as the name so it is hard to see in the small photo.
