Hi,
I am new here. Great resource!
I need help with 2 (designer?) signatures on vintage scarves, and is hard to find information by matching an image...
Both scarves do not have their tags anymore.

The first one is an 80s looking scarf (bright teal abstract daisies on black background). I could be wrong about the period. Does anyone recognize the signature, shown here?

The second scarf is a luxurious huge silk scarf with elaborate ornamental border and small roses all over.
I tried variations of the letters below but do not recognize a designer whose name is close to this one. Can anyone help?

I am totally impressed with the speed of the responses!
Thank you so much!

So, after browsing and educating myself about J. Booher (for Maggy London) - it seems the scarf is probably from the late 1980s - it seems then they decided to make scarves and soon after Booher left the company.

thanks again!

That was my first guess, but being unfamiliar with Diane von Furstenberg's progression of signatures - I wondered where is the "F" in the signature? It seems more like "DV" only.

If you are certain that this is DVF - do you know when did she use this signature?

Thanks!
 
I'll shoot you some sigs! if photobucket will be kind to me they will show up!
I Don't ever remember any after the late 70's that aren't DV, (remember- being the key!)
 
Photo bucket hates me. And The 70's DVF that have the insignia of: DVF.Yours is her "D" So with that signature It could possibly be mid 70s to 80s.
I will be interested to hear what the researching VFG has to say! I
want to learn more about her also!
Have you checked out the VFG resource label thread? It is priceless!
