Retro Vintage Coral Handkerchief with Lace Frills

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1940: item #616821

Here's a dream hanky, if you like them really feminine. Three tiers of ruffles frame the central panel of fine nearly-sheer coral linen: one of coral mesh, one of ivory mesh and, finally, ivory lace edging. The colors are luscious and a lot of work went into this!

Probably dating from the 1930s, the hanky reached us from a Texas estate a... Click for details

Cute Retro Vintage Hanky w/ Zippered Coin Purse

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1950: item #616818

This darling vintage handkerchief is extremely unusual, in that it has a coin purse built right in! The hanky, itself, is of emerald green linen so finely woven that it's semi-sheer -- and, set into the center, there's a bright yellow, green and white tartan plaid pouch that zips open on one side with a green loop pull.

It's plenty big e... Click for details

Retro Vintage Yellow Eyelet Applique Apron, Mint

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1950: item #616816

This fancy vintage apron has to be at least 50 or 60 years old, but looks never worn. It's obviously been stored away carefully, because the fabric hasn't even thought about fading. And look at those elaborate ultra-feminine details: panels of yellow eyelet lace, plus appliqued flowers! It's 15 inches long, plus a 1 3/4-inch waistband, and provenance is a Texas estate.

Fine Vintage Forstmann Coral Cashmere Sweater c. 1950

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Apparel Pre 1960: item #585572

In the 1940s and 1950s, designs by the Forstmann Woolen Company were described as "the finest woolens in the world." Many of their coats were trimmed with mink and even ermine, and their top-of-the-line sweaters were, of course, cashmere. Both the company's luxurious merchandise and high-fashion magazine ads are eagerly collected today.

2 Extremely Fine Vintage Square Scarves circa 1980

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1990: item #559598

Having recently acquired loads of wonderful vintage and antique clothing from a collector who's downsizing, I got inspired to do a bit of the same. These two scarves have languished in my dresser since around 1980, which I paid at least $75 for each (on sale) at one of the best shops in town. Despite good intentions, I never got the knack of wearing squares, so it's unlikely I will.

2 Lovely Gossamer Vintage Scarves 1 Hand-Painted

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1990: item #559576

We're presenting these as a duo, since both are sure to suit the taste of ladies who like their scarves sheer and extremely artistic. Each features as its background a drift of transparent cloud-gray organza that's light as a breeze. In one case, the reverse is tagged silk and we believe them both to be.

The older scarf, most likely dat... Click for details

2 Very Large Vintage Scarves with Fringe, 1980s

Popular Collectibles: Nostalgia: Fashion: Accessories Pre 1990: item #559518

Measuring 32 inches square (plus two-inch fringe), each of these beautiful fringed scarves is almost as big as a shawl. In fact, when you fold one into a triangle, the length at the top becomes more than 50 inches -- plenty long enough to fasten around your shoulders or use as a sash. And, when you aren't wearing them, they'd make gorgeous table-toppers.
