Fabulously Beautiful Weather & Vintage Purses From the Pacific Northwest
Wow, it's been incredibly dry and sunny on this visit to Washington state, visiting friends, eating great Thai food, and finding incredible vintage purses. We have managed to locate a great bunch of vintage handbags including this vintage snakeskin clutch, an Ostrich handbag, and a great umbrella purse, among the many others. Here's a few pics of these great treasures and a picture of a tiny, dreamy little town north of Mount Vernon I am sworn not to reveal the name..Edison (oops!).
MAN CANDY
Most of the vintage clothing & accessories on this blog are for women so here is a change of pace... some man candy!
The necktie as we know it is thought to have begun during the Thirty Years War in Europe during the 1600s. The French, always fashion forward, took note of the kerchiefs worn by the Croatian mercenaries & turned the humble neckerchief into the cravat, a word derived from the Croatian & French words for Croat, hrvati & croates. Until George Bryan "Beau" Brummell introduced a more tailored look in the early 19th century these cravats were mostly frilly & lacy. The 1920s saw the introduction of the modern tie construction which has continued until today with variations in the width & length. The mid 20th century ties are highly collectible for their amazing variety of designs.
On offer from The Spectrum, a small selection of 40s-50s NOS Arrow ties for the hepcat, swing daddy or the businessman looking to liven up his wardrobe ~

Hush Hush.......It's a Cover-up
No not a political cover-up but a swimsuit cover up. From almost the beginning of swimsuit's there have been swimsuit covers. Part for modesty, part for sun protection and part just because it made a prettier presentation.
Here are just a few actual cover ups that I have found. Some are the actual garment and some are Magazine articles and advertisements and there are even a couple of patterns for you to make your own swimsuit and cover-up.
This little organdy skirt is featured in a 1951 Holiday Magazine article 5 page Fashion spread from 1951 showing the latest in bathing suit fashions. Designers included are Tina Leser, Carolyn Schnurer, Annis Originals, Sea Nymph, Caltex, Bestlyne, Cole of California, Rose Marie Reid, Jantzen, Mabs of Hollywood, Sacony and Gantner.
Men also had their Matching sets often called Cabana Sets. Colorful vintage McGregor sportswear ad from 1948. Ad shows several different styles of sportswear for men and promotes "Sun Sets" a brilliant new color achievement in teamed water suits.
Fun Novelty Print Vintage 50s Swimsuit Cover-Up From The Lucite Box
This cotton swim cover-up is so adorable. It's from the 50s and features a print of moustached bathers, lady sunbathers and beach umbrellas. (We like the old-timey swimwear these characters from 1915 are wearing.) The short little jacket is lined in white terry cloth and has two slash pockets. It's got a cute sailor collar. It slides over your swimsuit easily as there are no closures. It looks like this has seldom if ever been worn.
Beach dress in two lengths, two piece bathing suit & hat. The sleeveless beach dress tied at shoulders is gathered to yoke and has lowered round neckline and optional purchased belt. View 1 is regular length. View 2 is above knee length. Lined, two piece bathing suit has bra top with back button closing, and shorts with elastic waistline and leg casings. The lined hat has a large brim that may be worn turned back! 1967
Back buttoned bra, dart fitted pants or shorts with center back zipper, and sleeveless, seven panel princess dress or top buttoned at back. Bra is interfaced and faced with self fabric. Back opening of dress or top and pants or shorts waistband are interfaced. Dress has applied bow at top of vent in left front seam. 1965
