Hi all!
I'm hoping someone out there can help me! My mother worked for Ladybug in the 1960s and wore their clothing as well. She also wore Villager. She loved Ladybug and Villager so much, but no longer has her original items. I am hoping someone out there may have a resource as to where I could find any vintage Ladybug or Villager clothing and accessories. I've cruised Ebay and Etsy, and found just a few things. I'd love to surprise my Mom with a few pieces from her past for her birthday. If anyone has any leads, or has some items, I would be grateful. Thank you!!
 
I have looked online for Ladybug brand clothing. Do you perhaps mean Vera that used a ladybug logo?
I sure have run across some cute ladybug themes looking for you. I may have to buy me something with ladybugs.

I know I have heard of Villager also. Perhaps some of the dealers here have some.
 
Hi FooFooGal!!
Thanks so much for the reply! The label Ladybug is not by Vera. I've attached an image of the label for you to see. Ladybug was the sister, junior line to Villager in the 60s. Thanks so much!

I remember this brand from the late 60 early 70s. It was The store and brand to wear along with Capezios and Letisse handbags.
I will have to look thru my inventory.
Somewhere I have a little Lady Bug stick pin that came with the clothing

I cannot believe it but stumbled across a Villager madras jacket this week. Thank you for this thread.

beebee-

Am I imagining it or did the Ladybug shirtwaist dresses come with little stick pins on the collar that were bugs or turtles or frogs? It seems like they did, and if so, I have several of those.

I too was one of those wearers of Ladybug and Villager.

Yes yes!! It was a ladybug! I have one!!
 
I have a little group of the Ladybug pins that I saved from our clothes. We were lucky, we knew the L/V sales rep for our area and we got to buy his samples in size 9 and 10 at a huge discount. My sister and I could wear the same sizes and even our mom, so she bought us a lot and we swapped them around and all wore them. One year my sister got 'Best Dressed" in the high school annual :o)
If you would like a little bug pin, let me know, I can mail in an envelope to you. You could make it part of a cute B'day card. Can you do PM's in this forum ?
