Announcement
♥️Our eyewear is 20 to 70 years old and discontinued making them unique as you are♥️
♥️More vintage eyewear in my other Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ManCaveCollective
♥️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION & DETAILED SHOP POLICIES BELOW I know it's a few minute read but an informed buyer is not a disappointed one:::
♥️ Diagrams are provided for clothing, shoes and eyewear that show you where to measure a similar item you currently wear so you can size up its’ size against my stated numbers for fit. So do your homework..... measure.
♥️Behind each item I offer here probably has provenance and will accompany its description. My families were collectors. My parents were antique dealers and my in laws traveled the world. I'm no different from them.
Whether you care about that or not, please be mindful everything here has a past and is considered vintage/used/antique.
Read what I wrote as every word is part of its description including all the photos I’m permitted to include.
If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Save your money. You'll need it when you're my age.
I am not retired yet and this is not a hobby. This is what I do for a living.
Thanks for supporting my seasoned Etsy shops.
Stay cool,
Desi
♥️ I recycle shipping materials whenever possible. I have several outside business sources that provide me with odd sized boxes, craft paper, air bubbles, styrofoam, bubble wrap and padded envelopes.
I use whatever materials necessary to provide safe travels for your purchase and materials used depends on your item, zip and size of box. Sometimes it ain't pretty. You're throwing the packing material away. It's up to me to make sure you get your item in 1 piece. Not present it as a gift. My 'THANK YOU' note is electronic and emailed to you along with ETsy's shipping notifications. You won't get a thank you note inside your package. It's more waste and def not eco-friendly.
♥️ If your order is over $150, signature is required upon delivery. If your purchase is being shipped to an apartment number, signature required as well.
I don't charge for that service.
I need to know that your purchase lands in your hands and not someone elses.
Porch thieves are running their businesses in every city. Too many parcels have gotten lost in the past due to Post Master scanning as delivered and leaving a parcel at apartment doors or generalized parcel pick up areas. Things disappear and neither you nor I can file a claim against the USPS if they've scanned your parcel as delivered. If you're not available to sign for it, please keep it in the back of your mind that you will have to make a trip to the post office with ID to pick it up. They hold parcels for 14 days and then it is returned to me. Or you can enter the tracking number into the USPS website and reschedule delivery when you know you’ll be home to sign. I know it's an inconvenience however this is to guarantee delivery to YOU. It’s protecting OUR investment. I can't afford to replace or refund, I’m not Amazon.
♥️It's not about need......surround yourself with things that bring you joy. For those of you who aren't afraid of self expression, I tempt you with the things I like.... vintage with character, uniqueness, and guaranteed to turn heads.
♥️ My other cool shop is closing, everything's on sale::

♥️ Vintage dead stock beads, findings, charms, clasps from the 1920s-1960s.

5 out of 5 starsOh, WOW, I LOVE this gorgeous necklace! It reminds me so much of HBO's Gilded Age, and it is STUNNING. This is an amazing seller, kind, informative, easy to work with, and shipped at the speed-of-light. She packaged and wrapped this beauty very carefully, shipped in a strong box, with an outer stronger box. She described, measured, and photographed this amazing piece accurately. All around, this was an absolutely perfect and delightful purchase. Thank you so much for trusting me with this "forever" piece.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Signature Confirmation Required on Orders over $75?
Orders over $75 generally are unique and one of a kind. Once the postal carrier scans your order as ‘DELIVERED’ and you never received it, I have no recourse, no leg to stand on. Even if it’s insured, insurance only covers damage or incomplete delivery. It doesn’t cover theft or mis-delivered orders.
Signature confirmations protects your investment as well as mine and makes sure your order lands in YOUR hands and not someone else’s.
