I found this on an item listed on ebay. (not my item)

Is it a real vintage Victoria's Secret tag or a fake??

Just curious!

We don't have an entry for VS in the label resource...perhaps something to consider oh wonderful VFGers? I'm sure there are quite a few labels for them as they've been around for a while.

Sorry Vicki, I have no idea if it's fake or not. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will come along soon.

Ohhhhhhhhhh you are SO my hero!!! Its not fake!

I have that label in my "collection" from a piece about 5 years ago.. but I couldn't date it accurately as it was in such a classic cami.

but.. i do belive this label "pre-dates" the round one with the crown logo.

is it possible for you to U2U me with the auction number? i would really love to see the garment. :)

i have been working on Victoria's Secret for months and months, but I don't like posting the info to the label resource till its completely substantiated.. it scares me how many people use it.. and i would never want anything mis-represented or misinformed.

i should be done soon.. and hopefully we can all submit our VS labels!

thanks SO much for posting that Vicki, i'm so excited.
i know.. little things amuse little minds.. lol.

Well, I've collected, owned, worn, bought & sold a slew of VS things over the years, but never have seen this tag before! Thanks to Vicki & Von for the info, and to Gayle for the trademark office site! I learn something new every day.... Now I'll have to be on the lookout for that label!
 
Hi,

Well I AM feeling old....I remember this tag, and I remember when Victoria's Secret was just a tiny company, running a small classified ad in black and white in the backs of a few magazines. They only sold a few things, all Victorian revival lingerie and a nightgown or 2, and I don't think they even had a real catalog. The ads were small, black and white of a woman in a camisole, teddie, or nightgown. I think the only colors were white, ivory and pale pink. Later on, when they did their first catalogs, they were small and were VERY different than todays. I still have one late 1970s teddie, with peach-pink ribbons and lace...very soft and romantic.

Better grab my cane and take a walk down memory lane.....
