Welcome to Viva Vintage Clothing!

Click on the links or images to check out this week's featured items: In the middle of a recession, and in between seasons, what's a girl to buy and wear?  Go for the classics!  Buying high-quality vintage clothing and accessories in classic styles is a great investment, and these two seasonless, wear anywhere pieces will still be as fashionable 20 years from now as they were 50 years ago.  This simply elegant black silk faille cocktail dress from the 1950s is the perfect LBD: you can dress it down or dress it up with fabulous accessories.  It will be the dress you pull out of your closet again and again when you want to feel confident and sophisticated.  While most people immediately think of her minaudiere bags covered with crystals, Judith Leiber also designed beautiful handbags in leather, like this one from the late 1950s or early 1960s.  This unique box purse is a larger-sized  day to evening bag made of smooth black leather, with a brushed gold metal "screened" lid, and a solid metal handle trimmed with black leather.

This early 60's strapless cocktail dress has an interesting mix of textures: the metallic gold and silver leaf-patterned brocade of the bodice contrasts beautifully with the flowing, sheer beige chiffon skirt.                                          Photography by Lizz Sisson, hair and makeup by Antje Kastner

"My entire experience with you has been wonderful. Firstly, your love of the elegant is obvious to anyone from the items for sale on your website. Your genuine and friendly service is the kind of thing so many businesses would love to imitate but fail.  Such luck that I found you, and was able to wear some of your items to one of the inaugural parties, feeling like a million dollars. My only problem is that I want to buy everything I see!"
