Welcome to My Vintage Clothes Line, an online store offering Vintage and Retro clothing and accessories.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the elegance of fashions of the past and for more than thirty years, I have pursued my passion for collecting and wearing vintage clothing and accessories. When I first started searching for these treasures, there was very little interest in this area of collecting and many wonderful items were destined for the trash pile! Sadly, a great deal of vintage fashion items were lost forever, but fortunately, times have changed and there are now many collectors today who have a keen appreciation for these elegant reminders of the past!
It is very important to remember that fashion is a definite part of our history and most often reflects technological changes as well as social attitudes and may well offer our greatest opportunity to express our individualism. Wearing vintage not only makes one feel unique and special----it's incredibly fun!!!
It is my hope that this website will be enjoyed by the experienced collector as well as the novice and will keep the love and preservation of vintage fashion alive and well!
P. S. Please visit my site frequently as I will be adding new items weekly! I, literally, have hundreds and hundreds of beautiful items to add including Ceil Chapman, Victor Costa(Romantica), Bob Mackie, Escada, St. John, Michael Hoban, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Yves St. Laurent and many more! And if you are looking for anything in particular, please don't hesitate to send an email with your request! Your correspondence is always welcome. And if you happen to be in Williamsburg, Virginia, please come by and visit the best antique mall on the East Coast---Williamsburg Antique Mall, 500 Lightfoot Road (www.antiqueswilliamsburg.com). I have three well stocked spaces(C13, D16 and E07) in this mall where I offer vintage clothing as well as a large selection of vintage costume jewelry!! And when you get tired of looking up and down the many aisles of treasures at the mall, you may take a break and have a most wonderful spot of tea and a most delicious lunch prepared by the lovely "Miss" Jean Reitmeyer at La Petite Tea Room in the Williamsburg Antique Mall! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!
