For the dress shown yesterday, a short slip would be a necessity. I’m so happy to have a variety of lengths in these gorgeous 1950’s beauties – it’s such a shame to shorten a lovely piece like these, though some were specially made to allow you to do that without ruining the design.

Tomorrow we’ll start a series with my main shoe collection, dresses you haven’t seen yet, jewelry and this and that, and that and that and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE HANDBAG, 1950s TO EARLY 1960s WITH A TAPESTRY FRONT IN SPRING COLORS

TRUE VINTAGE HANDBAG, 1950s TO EARLY 1960s WITH A TAPESTRY FRONT IN SPRING COLORS

This beautiful bag was hanging on a rack with other very ordinary modern purses. I don’t think that the store personnel had a clue, but the magicvintagespy never fails to spot one . . . . . . .

Although it is faux leather and not top-of-the-line with no maker’s name inside, I love the pretty tapestry cover on the front. It is very well-made, as are most purses of that era, whether high-end or mid-priced. The colors are subtle and chic for Spring (or any season). It would be especially pretty with the season’s neutral colors like ivory, beige, or gray, as well as any solid color in the tapestry. It’s always great fun to find an unusual bag like this one.

My finds don’t always follow the weather, but I try to post photos of things that we would wear currently in North America. I know that doesn’t…

LADIES’ TRUE VINTAGE PUMPS FROM 1953, COMMEMORATING THE CORONATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II

LADIES' TRUE VINTAGE PUMPS FROM 1953, COMMEMORATING THE CORONATION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II

From the Shoe Museum in Mexico City, these shoes were specially made in celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain, in 1953. Special decorations on the vamps . . . . . .

It’s still plenty cold outside, so over the next two weeks I’ll be showing the last of my beautiful winter coats. The photos I was able to get from the shoe museum will be interspersed with them – lovely examples of near-new footwear from about 1920 – 1970.
