Hi I’ve had a vintage dress for about ten years, from the 1940s, but have never been able to find information about the brand on the label and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it? I’ve taken a picture of the label for you to look at, and any help in solving this mystery would be much appreciated!
Hello, can you post images of the item? first thing i came across when you google Odilene: https://flashbak.com/pretty-publici...rter-vetements-odilene-la-griffe-des-vedette/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/spikedcandy/418511657 a lot of 60s references to a french brand and this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-80s-Wo...nk-Button-Up-Long-XSmall-FRANCE-/174195724104 https://www.ebay.fr/itm/36051176758...-53476-19255-0&campid=5338722076&toolid=10001 https://www.imparfaiteparis.com/en/produit/veste-en-jean-148/ imo the label looks 90s same label on a pair of denim pants: https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/autres-pantalons/224954038-odilene-pantalon-de-cheval-taille-c-beige blazer: https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/vestes-legeres/657452101-veste-courte-motif-pied-de-poules-odilene dress: https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/robes-...-courte-dete-dos-nue-marque-odilene-taille-32 60s Odilene label dress: https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/autres-robes/113927858-robe-des-annees-60-odilene is this your dress? https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/fetes-...uverte-de-dentelles-noires-haut-bustier-36-38
I would also agree that this label looks much newer both because of the styling as well as the material it is made of and the content tag underneath. Photos of the entire dress would help us with dating.
Thanks for all your replies. It was from a vintage shop in West Village way back when and date labelling there was never wholly accurate. I’m at work currently but I’ll take a photo of the whole dress when I get home.
Good sleuthing, Katarzyna! I agree that the font and other label details do not look 40s, and that seeing the entire dress would be very helpful.
https://www.vinted.fr/femmes/fetes-...uverte-de-dentelles-noires-haut-bustier-36-38 yes, that’s the one! except mine has thick, black satin-esque straps. I’ll take a photo when I’m home.
the serging looks more modern, and a 40s dress would not be labelled 100% polyamide. Nylon is a form of polyamide, and nylon did exist in the 40s, but wouldn't be labelled like this.
