Last year I have acquired an amazing vintage 1970's - 90's New Old stock from an Atlanta Apparel Mart sales associate. She closed her shop years ago and had thousands of items in storage, Lanvin, Valentino, YSL, Diane Von Furstenberg and others.
I have about 1000 pieces from this lot. Most have original tags or are on original cards, Amazing treasure trove. I have been meticulously sorting through and listing all these items on my website, fabulous collection of Lanvin, Valentino, Robin Kahn and tons of 1980's styles.

Also, Please be sure to check out the Fabulous article on Vintage Bakelite in the Pioneer Woman Magazine, Kim Loves Vintage is featured along with some awesome Bakelite. I am thrilled to be featured in this magazine and so happy to showcase vintage Bakelite. Bakelite is one of the most versatile and decorative materials in vintage costume jewelry.

You may still be able to get the 2020 spring issue of Pioneer Woman Magazine to read all about Bakelite and try the yummy food Ree is always cooking! This issue was on shelves one week into lockdown last year so it did not get the distribution anticipated so...
