    Hello everyone
    I am looking for vintage 1920s and 1930s womens coats that I can purchase please. I am looking for vintage 1920s/1930s coats in any styles, materials and with a shoulder-shoulder measurement of 16 inches and more, and in any colours except grey and black.
    Any price range would be good. Please let me know if you have any that you are selling please. Thank you!

    Are you on FB? In a selling group call Ooh La La I have been seeing some great 1920s garments, coats included. Lady is in the UK.

    Hi Saira, I have this brown wool coat with beaver fur trim - not yet listed - but the shoulder measurement is only 15 1/2" and 14 1/2" across the upper back. Obviously, the fur will need repair. Otherwise, the wool and lining are in excellent condition. I just shot these images quickly, but if you're interested, please PM me and I'll be happy to supply more images and measurements.

    Coincidentally, the store label is the same as this advertising illustration in @bycinbyhand 's shop.

  7. Ooh La La! 1920-1962 Vintage Hive Mind is a Facebook group, just search on FB for them. Anyone in the group can sell or buy there. It was started by a UK person but is an international group and it seems most members are in the UK or the US. You will have to ask to join the group and wait for approval.

    Are you looking for these for film work? I catch a slight desperate tone - like time is of the essence. I ask because I may be able to help, but not right away. I know we have some for resale but they are packed away and not measured. Also, I'm not sure about colours. Black I know I have... the others, not so sure...

    I'd be interested in seeing these as well Jonathan, or anything the museum has for resale.

    We won't be having our usual Encore boutique this summer because the store we use as a pop-up has been rented by a Brazilian restaurant and they have poured tens of thousands of dollars into redoing it. So we will, at some point, mount a sale in the museum during the summer. I will announce when we plan to have it here.

    Thank you so much, thats sounds awesome! Please can I request, I live in New Zealand so unfortunately I won't be able to attend the sale in person, please could I request if I could see and potentially buy a few pieces from you online if possible? Thank you so much!
